C

Question. For the ground state, the electron in the H – atom has an angular momentum = h, according to the simple Bohr model. Angular momentum is a vector and hence there will be infinitely many orbits with the vector pointing in all possible directions. In actuality, this is not true,
(a) because Bohr model gives in correct values of angular momentum
(b) because only one of these would have a minimum energy
(c) angular momentum must be in the direction of spin of electron
(d) because electrons go around only in horizontal orbits

Answer

A

Question. The energy of a hydrogen atom in the ground state is – 13.6 eV. The energy of a He+ ion in the first excited state will be
(a) –13.6 eV
(b) – 27.2 eV
(c) – 54.4 eV
(d) – 6.8 eV

Answer

Question. The binding energy of a H – atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is

MCQs For NCERT Class 12 Physics Chapter 12 Atoms

If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving around it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be

MCQs For NCERT Class 12 Physics Chapter 12 Atoms

This last expression is not correct, because
(a) n would not be integral
(b) Bohr – quantisation applies only two electron
(c) the frame in which the electron is at rest is not inertial
(d) the motion of the proton would not be in circular orbits, even approximately.

Answer

C

Question. Ionization potential of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV. Hydrogen atoms in the ground state are excited by monochromatic radiation of photon energy 12.1 eV. The spectral lines emitted by hydrogen atom according to Bohr’s theory will be
(a) one
(b) two
(c) three
(d) four

Answer

C

Question. O2 molecule consists of two oxygen atoms. In the molecule, nuclear force between the nuclei of the two atoms
(a) is not important because nuclear forces are short – ranged
(b) is as important as electrostatic force for binding the two atoms
(c) cancels the repulsive electrostatic force between the nuclei
(d) is not important because oxygen nucleus have equal number of neutrons and protons

Answer

A

Answer

D

Question. The simple Bohr model cannot be directly applied to calculate the energy levels of an atom with many electrons. This is because
(a) of the electrons not being subject to a central force
(b) of the electrons colliding with each other
(c) of screening effects
(d) the force between the nucleus and an electron will no longer be given by Coulomb’s law

Answer

A

Question. An electron in hydrogen atom makes a transition n1 → n2 where n1 and n2 are principal quantum numbers of the two states. Assuming Bohr’s model to be valid the time period of the electron in the initial state is eight times that in the final state. The possible values of n1 and n2 are
