According to Bohr's atomic theory:
(A) Kinetic energy of electron is
(B) The product of velocity ( v ) of electron and principal quantum number ( n ) ' vn '
(C) Frequency of revolution of electron in an orbit is
(D) Coulombic force of attraction on the electron is
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
  1. (A)(A) and (D) only✓ Correct
  2. (B)A only
  3. (C)(A), (C) and (D) only
  4. (D)(C) only

Answer: (A)

Solution

Bohr's model gives the orbital speed as and the orbit radius as , and every listed quantity follows from these two. The kinetic energy equals the magnitude of the total energy, eV, so the proportionality holds. Since , the product varies as and not as , so that proportionality fails. The frequency of revolution is , not , so that one fails as well. The electrostatic attraction is , so that proportionality holds. Only the kinetic energy statement and the Coulombic force statement are correct.
