Question

According to Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, which of the following statement is incorrect?

The correct answer is
Radius of $6^{th}$ orbit is three times larger than that of $4^{th}$ orbit

Bohr Model Radius Dependence

According to Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom, the radius ($r_n$) of an electron's orbit is determined by the principal quantum number ($n$). The relationship is:

$r_n = \frac{n^2 a_0}{Z}$

For hydrogen ($Z=1$), this simplifies to $r_n = n^2 a_0$, meaning the radius is proportional to the square of the orbit number ($r_n \propto n^2$).

Analysis of Statement in Option D

Option D presents the statement: "Radius of $3^{rd}$ orbit is nine times larger than that of $1^{st}$ orbit". We verify this using the derived relationship.

Radius of the $3^{rd}$ orbit ($n=3$):

$r_3 = 3^2 a_0 = 9 a_0$

Radius of the $1^{st}$ orbit ($n=1$):

$r_1 = 1^2 a_0 = 1 a_0$

Comparing the two radii:

$\frac{r_3}{r_1} = \frac{9 a_0}{1 a_0} = 9$

Thus, $r_3 = 9 \times r_1$. This confirms the statement that the radius of the $3^{rd}$ orbit is nine times that of the $1^{st}$ orbit.
