Question

Statement I: It is impossible to determine position and momentum of the moving electron simultaneously with the same accuracy.

Statement II: The path of an electron in an atom is clearly defined.

• A. Both Statement I and Statment II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
• B. Both Statement I and Statment II are correct and Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
• C. Statement I is correct but Statment II is incorrect
• D. Statement II is correct but Statment I is incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is C Statement I is correct but Statment II is incorrect

By Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, Statement I is correct. Since, path of an electron is not clearly defined hence, Statement II is incorrect.
