Explanation Thousands of hydrogen atoms are all in their ground state. The Bohr radius is approximately equal to the most probable distance between the nucleus and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state. Conclusion: Therefore, the true statement is (d) if the distance from the nucleus to the electron could be measured, it would be found at different locations in atoms. The most probable distance would be the Bohr radius. Since, hydrogen atoms are all in their ground state have most probable distance would be the Bohr radius and it would be found at different location in different atoms...

The Bohr model

Students often get confused between Rutherford’s model and Bohr model of an atom. They interpret the postulates of both these models to be the same, which is incorrect. Rutherford’s model differs from Bohr’s model in the following ways:
