MCQ
Assertion (A): In Sommerfeld's model, circular orbit is possible for the electron in K shell.
Reason (R): Electron present in $K$ shell corresponds to principal quantum number $n =1$.
  • A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C
    A is true but R is false.
  • D
    Both A and R are false.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
Explanation: Sommerfeld's model is an extension of Bohr's model. Electrons in an atom revolve around the nuclei in elliptical orbit. The circular path is a special case of the elliptical orbit. The Association of elliptical orbit with circular orbit explains the fine line spectrum of atoms.

Assertion : Increasing order of acidity of hydrogen halides is $\ce{HF < HCl < HBr < HI}$
Reason : While comparing acids formed by the elements belonging to the same group of periodic table, $H-A$ bond strength is a more important factor in determining acidity of an acid than the polar nature of the bond.
Assertion (A): Components of a mixture of red and blue inks can be separated by distributing the components between stationary and mobile phases in paper chromatography.
Reason (R): The coloured components of inks migrate at different rates because paper selectively retains different components according to the difference in their partition between the two phases.
