Assertion : Orbit and orbital are synony...

Assertion : Orbit and orbital are synonymous.
Reason : A circular path around the nucleus in which an electron moves is called orbit or orbital.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
An orbit, as proposed by Bohr, is a circular path of fixed radius and energy around the nucleus in which an electron moves whereas, an atomic orbital is a quantum mechanical concept and is the region around the nucleus where probability of finding the electron is maximum.
