Incorrect Statement in Bohr Model | JEE Mains PYQ | Structure of Atom

Q. According to Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, which of the following statement is incorrect?

A. Radius of 4^th orbit is four times larger than that of 2^nd orbit

B. Radius of 8^th orbit is four times larger than that of 4^th orbit

C. Radius of 6^th orbit is three times larger than that of 4^th orbit

D. Radius of 3^rd orbit is nine times larger than that of 1^st orbit

Explanation

Step 1: Bohr radius relation

According to Bohr's model:
Radius of n^th orbit, r_n ∝ n²

Step 2: Check each option

A: r₄ / r₂ = 16 / 4 = 4 ✔️
B: r₈ / r₄ = 64 / 16 = 4 ✔️
C: r₆ / r₄ = 36 / 16 = 2.25 ❌
D: r₃ / r₁ = 9 / 1 = 9 ✔️

Correct Answer = C
