Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

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 :

  1. A Statement I is false but statement II is true. Correct answer
  2. B Both statement I and statement II are true.
  3. C Statement I is true but statement II is false.
  4. D Both statement I and statement II are false.

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
