Q. Assertion :The angular momentum of the electron revolving in a stationary orbit is equal to integral multiples of

\frac{h}{2 π}

. Reason: Angular momentum of an electron orbiting around the nucleus is quantized.

Q. Assertion :A particle moves with a constant velocity parallel to the

. Its angular momentum

w . r . t

the origin will remains constant. Reason: Angular momentum is defined as

¯ L = ¯ r \times ¯ P

Q. Assertion :An electron in

s

-orbital is not circulating around the nucleus but simply as distributed around it whereas an electron in

p

-orbital can be thought of as circulating around the nucleus. Reason: For

s

-orbital angular momentum is zero and for a

p

-orbital angular momentum is non-zero.

Q. STATEMENT - 1 : In the duration electron jumps from first excited state to ground state in a stationary isolated hydrogen atom, the angular momentum of the electron about the nucleus is conserved.

STATEMENT - 2 : As the electron jumps from first excited state to ground state, in a hydrogen atom, the electrostatic force on the electron is always directed towards the nucleus.

Q. An electron moves around protons (nucleus) in a circle of radius 'r'. Assuming that the uncertainty of momentum of electron is of the same order as the momentum itself, the momentum of electron will be:
