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.

Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True and Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

Solution

The correct option is C Statement-1 is False but Statement-2 is True.
As electron jumps from $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ , angular momentum ( n) does not remain conserved. Hence statement-1 is false. Electrostatic attraction on the electron is towards the center.
