Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 391 People


Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A) It is not possible to know the exact location of an electron and its exact energy simultaneously.
B) The energies of an atom's electrons are quantized.
C) Quantum numbers define the energy states and the orbitals available to an electron.
D) The behavior of an atom's electrons can be described by circular orbits around a nucleus.
E) Electrons have both wave and particle properties.

Answered by admin @



Answer:

D) The behavior of an atom's electrons can be described by circular orbits around a nucleus.

Explanation:

This statement is incorrect. The orbits of the electrons have different forms, not necessarily circular.

According to the atomic model of Schrödinger, which changed some characteristics to the Bohr model, the orbits of the electrons around the nucleus of the atom can be elliptical, or more complex than a circular orbit.

The other options apart from D are correct.
