Quantum mechanics and hydrogen atom
Consider an electron of mass m moves with the velocity v in a hydrogen atom. If an electron is at a distance r from the proton, then the potential energy function of the electron can be written as follows:
Isotopes of Hydrogen Atoms
To understand isotopes, it's easiest to learn the simplest system. Hydrogen, the most basic nucleus, has received a great deal of attention. Several of the results seen in more complex nuclei can be seen in hydrogen isotopes. An isotope is a nucleus of t…
Mass of Hydrogen Atom
Hydrogen is one of the most fundamental elements on Earth which is colorless, odorless, and a flammable chemical substance. The representation of hydrogen in the periodic table is H. It is mostly found as a diatomic molecule as water H2O on earth. It is …

Answer to Problem 4STP

The answer is B- The locations of the electrons around the nucleus are known precisely.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The locations of the electrons around a nucleus cannot be known.

The locations of the electrons around the nucleus are impossible to be known precisely. Hence, the false statement about the quantum model of the atom.

Conclusion:

Hence, false statement is option B- The locations of the electrons around the nucleus are known precisely.
