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 :
Solution
Bohr’s theory is applicable for unielectronic species only
Li<sup>+</sup> has two electrons.<br><br>
Bohr’s theory could not explain the splitting of
spectral lines in the presence of external magnetic
field (Zeeman effect)<br><br>
<b>Statement I</b> – false<br><br>
<b>Statement II</b> – true
