The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A**: "If the angular momentum of the earth due to its motion around the sun were quantized according to Bohr's relation, L = nH/2π, the quantum number would have been of the order of 10^74." - We know from Bohr's model that angular momentum (L) can be expressed as L = nH/2π. - For Earth, we can express angular momentum as L = mvr, where m is mass, v is velocity, and r is the radius of the orbit. - By substituting the values of m, v, and r into the equation and solving for n, we find that n is approximately 10^74. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **True**. 2. **Statement B**: "If the element with principal quantum number greater than 4 were allowed in nature, then the number of possible elements would be 64." - The maximum number of electrons in a shell is given by the formula 2n². - For n = 4, the maximum number of electrons is 2(4²) = 32. - Therefore, if we consider n = 1, 2, 3, and 4, the total number of electrons would be: - n=1: 2(1²) = 2 - n=2: 2(2²) = 8 - n=3: 2(3²) = 18 - n=4: 2(4²) = 32 - Total = 2 + 8 + 18 + 32 = 60. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False**. 3. **Statement C**: "Rydberg constant varies with the mass number of the element." - The Rydberg constant (R) can be expressed in terms of the reduced mass (μ) of the electron and nucleus system. - The formula for Rydberg constant involves the reduced mass, which depends on the mass of the nucleus and the electron. - Therefore, as the mass number changes, the reduced mass changes, which in turn affects the Rydberg constant. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **True**. 4. **Statement D**: "The ratio of the wave number of H-alpha lines for the Balmer series for hydrogen and H-alpha for the Balmer series of a singly ionized helium is exactly 4." - The wave number (1/λ) is proportional to the Rydberg constant. - Since the Rydberg constant changes with the mass of the nucleus, the ratio of the wave numbers will not be exactly 4 due to the different masses of hydrogen and helium. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False**. ### Final Summary of Statements: - Statement A: True - Statement B: False - Statement C: True - Statement D: False

To determine which of the statements are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A**: "If the angular momentum of the earth due to its motion around the sun were quantized according to Bohr's relation, L = nH/2π, the quantum number would have been of the order of 10^74." - We know from Bohr's model that angular momentum (L) can be expressed as L = nH/2π. - For Earth, we can express angular momentum as L = mvr, where m is mass, v is velocity, and r is the radius of the orbit. - By substituting the values of m, v, and r into the equation and solving for n, we find that n is approximately 10^74. ...
