Question

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom the energy of the electron is quantized. What does this mean? A...The electron's energy is not restricted in any way. B.....An electronic transition occurs when a photon is absorbed, but the photon must have precisely the right amount of energy to move the electron from one energy level to another one. C......The electron's energy is precisely zero. D......When an electron moves from a higher to a lower energy level a photon is emitted. This photon may have any energy.

Explanation / Answer

The energy of the elctron is quantized means it posses specific energy either gaining specific energy and go to the higher energy shell or looses specific energy and come to the low energy of the shell

The energy delta E or E2 -E1 = nhv

Here h is planck constant, v is frequency.

Energy will be the multiples of this hv only (So it is quantized)

So, correct option is B
