Chemistry · Structure of atom
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).\n Assertion (A): The exact position and exact momentum of an electron in an atom cannot be determined simultaneously.\n Reason (R): The product of uncertainties in position and momentum for a microscopic particle is less than \( \frac{h}{4\pi} \). \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 3
(A) is true but (R) is false.
Explanation
According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, \( \Delta x \times \Delta p_x \ge \frac{h}{4\pi} \). Thus, the product is greater than or equal to \( \frac{h}{4\pi} \), making Reason (R) false.
