JEE Main 2022 Chemistry question
Identify the incorrect statement from the following. (A) A circular path around the nucleus in which an electron moves is proposed as Bohr's orbit. (B) An orbital is the one electron wave function in an atom. (C) The existence of Bohr's orbits is supported by hydrogen spectrum. (D) Atomic orbital is characterised by the quantum numbers n and l only.
Answer: (D)
Solution
An atomic orbital is characterised by the three quantum numbers n, l and m (not n and l only), so statement (D) is incorrect.
