The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Syngas also known as synthetic gas, is the name given to a mixture of \(CO\) and \(H_2\).

Syngas is a mixture of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen which is the product of steam or oxygen gasification of organic materials like biomass. After the clean-up, syngas can be used for producing organic molecules like synthetic natural gas (SNG-methane (CH4)) or liquid biofuel like synthetic diesel.

Bohr's Model of Hydrogen Atom

Niels Bohr introduced the atomic Hydrogen model in 1913. He described it as a positively charged nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. In the model, electrons orbit the nucleus in atomic shells. The atom is held together by electrostatic forces between the positive nucleus and negative surroundings.

Bohr's Theory of Hydrogen Atom and Hydrogen-like Atoms

A hydrogen-like atom consists of a tiny positively-charged nucleus and an electron revolving around the nucleus in a stable circular orbit. 

Bohr's Radius: 

If 'e,' 'm,' and 'v' be the charge, mass, and velocity of the electron respectively, 'r' be the radius of the orbit, and Z be the atomic number, the equation for the radii of the permitted orbits is given by r = n2 xr1, where 'n' is the principal quantum number, and r1 is the least allowed radius for a hydrogen atom, known as Bohr's radius having a value of 0.53 Å. 

Limitations of the Bohr Model

The Bohr Model was an important step in the development of atomic theory. However, it has several limitations.

  1. Bohr’s model of the atom failed to explain the Zeeman Effect (effect of magnetic field on the spectra of atoms).
  2. It failed to explain the Stark effect (effect of electric field on the spectra of atoms).
  3. The spectra obtained from larger atoms weren’t explained.
  4. It violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
