MCQ
Assertion (A): Hydrogen atom has only one electron in its orbit. But it produces several spectral lines.
Reason (R): There are many excited energy levels available.
  • Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C
    A is true but R is false.
  • D
    A is false but R is true.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A .
Explanation: A $\rightarrow$ Different lines correspond to different transitions.
B $\rightarrow$ Different transitions are due to different excited states available.
