JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 18th March Evening Shift - No. 9)

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 :
Statement I is false but statement II is true.
Both statement I and statement II are true.
Statement I is true but statement II is false.
Both statement I and statement II are false.

Explanation

Bohr’s theory is applicable for unielectronic species only Li+ has two electrons.

Bohr’s theory could not explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of external magnetic field (Zeeman effect)

Statement I – false

Statement II – true
