Niels Bohr's atomic model successfully explained the spectrum of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Niels Bohr's atomic model successfully explained the spectrum of:
A. Hydrogen atom
B. Oxygen atom
C. Carbon atom
D. Helium atom
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Bohr's model (1913) could accurately predict the line spectrum of hydrogen and hydrogen-like ions (single-electron species like He⁺, Li²⁺) by introducing quantized energy levels and angular momentum. It failed for multi-electron atoms due to electron-electron interactions. The model explained the Balmer series of hydrogen. Modern quantum mechanics with Schrödinger equation replaced it. Bohr also introduced the concept of stationary orbits.

Question #1
Acid rain is primarily caused by the oxides of:
A. Calcium and magnesium
B. Carbon and hydrogen
C. Nitrogen and sulfur
D. Sodium and potassium

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Acid rain results from SO₂ and NOₓ (oxides of nitrogen) dissolving in water vapor to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These are released from burning fossil fuels and industrial processes. Carbon dioxide forms weak carbonic acid (normal rain pH ~5.6), but SO₂ and NOₓ cause pH below 5.0.

Question #2
If temperature of a gas is kept constant and pressure is doubled, volume becomes:
A. Same
B. Half
C. Four times
D. Double

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Boyle's law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. If P₂ = 2P₁, then V₂ = V₁/2. Volume is inversely proportional to pressure.

Question #3
The calorific value is highest for:
A. LPG
B. Hydrogen
C. Diesel
D. CNG

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Hydrogen has ~150 kJ/g; LPG ~50 kJ/g; CNG ~55 kJ/g; diesel ~45 kJ/g. Hydrogen has highest energy per mass but low density, posing storage challenges.
