Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A\textbf{Assertion A} and the other is labelled as Reason R\textbf{R}

Assertion A: The Bohr model is applicable to hydrogen and hydrogen-like atoms only. Reason R\textbf{R}: The formulation of Bohr model does not include repulsive force between electrons. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. A: true, Bohr's model works only for one-electron systems (H, He+^+, Li2+^{2+}...).
  2. R: true, it considers only electron-nucleus attraction and ignores electron-electron repulsion.
  3. That omission is exactly why it fails for many-electron atoms, so R explains A.
  4. So the answer is (b).
