Bohr’s Theory and Electron Mass – Rankers Physics

Atomic Structure: Practice Problem & Solution

Assertion (A): In H-atom, according to Bohr's theory, electron revolves around the nucleus in orbits in which the angular momentum of electron is as integral multiple of \(h/(2\pi)\). Reason (R): Mass of electron is equal to the mass of proton.  
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Atomic Structure. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Bohr's theory states angular momentum \(L = n h / (2\pi)\). So (A) is true. Mass of electron (\(9.109 \times 10^{-31}\text{ kg}\)) is not equal to mass of proton (\(1.672 \times 10^{-27}\text{ kg}\)). So (R) is false. Hence, (A) is true but (R) is false.
