Question

Electrons can jump from one orbit to other orbits. They cannot flow from one orbit to another.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

According to Bohr's concept of quantization of angular momentum, the electrons can reside only in those orbits in which the angular momentum is an integral multiple of $\frac{h}{2\pi }$. Therefore, electron cannot spend any amount of time in between two orbits. Thus the statement is made that electron can jump from one orbit to the other. It can not pass through space between two orbits.
