Q10 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (18 Mar Shift 2) · Chemistry

Given below are two statements:

Statement I : Bohr's theory accounts for the stability and line spectrum of Li+  ion.

Statement II : Bohr's theory was unable to explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both statement I and statement II are true.
  • Correct answer
    B
    Statement I is false but statement II is true.
  • C
    Both statement I and statement II are false.
  • D

    Statement I is true but statement II is false.

Solution

Statement-I is false since Bohr's theory accounts for the stability and spectrum of single electronic species ( e.g. He+,Li2+ etc.)
Statement II is true.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
