Which of the following postulate of Bohr's model of hydrogen atom is not in agreement with quantum mechanical model of an atom?
Solution
<p>The postulate that contradicts quantum mechanics is</p>
<p>Option A </p>
<p>“The electron in a H atom’s stationary state moves in a circle around the nucleus.”</p>
<p>In quantum mechanics an electron in a stationary state is described by a delocalized wave‐function (an orbital), not by a definite circular orbit.</p>
