The simple Bohr model cannot be directly applied to calculate the energy levels of an atom with many electrons. This is because:
For the ground state, the electron in the H-atom has an angular momentum = h2π, according to the simple Bohr model. Angular momentum is a vector and hence there will be infinitely many orbits with the vector pointing in all possible directions. In actuality, this is not true,
because Bohr model gives incorrect values of angular momentum
because only one of these would have a minimum energy
angular momentum must be in the direction of spin of the electron
because electrons go around only in horizontal orbits
O2 molecule consists of two oxygen atoms. In the molecule, nuclear force between the nuclei of the two atoms:
is not important because nuclear forces are short-ranged
is as important as electrostatic force for binding the two atoms
cancels the repulsive electrostatic force between the nuclei
is not important because oxygen nucleus have equal number of neutrons and protons
Two H atoms in the ground state collide inelastically. The maximum amount by which their combined kinetic energy is reduced is:

A set of atoms in an excited state decays
in general to any of the states with lower energy
into a lower state only when excited by an external electric field
all together simultaneously into a lower state
to emit photons only when they collide
An ionised H-molecule consists of an electron and two protons. The protons are separated by a small distance of the order of angstrom. In the ground state,
(a) the electron would not move in circular orbits(b) the energy would be 24 times that of a H-atom(c) the electron's orbit would go around the protons(d) the molecule will soon decay in a proton and a H-atom

Consider aiming a beam of free electrons towards free protons. When they scatter, an electron and a proton cannot combine to produce a H-atom,

The Bohr model for the spectra of a H-atom:
(a) will not be applicable to hydrogen in the molecular form(b) will not be applicable as it is for a He-atom(c) is valid only at room temperature(d) predicts continuous as well as discrete spectral lines
The Balmer series for the H-atom can be observed:
(a) if we measure the frequencies of light emitted when an excited atom falls to the ground state(b) if we measure the frequencies of light emitted due to transitions between excited states and the first excited state(c) in any transition in a H-atom(d) as a sequence of frequencies with the higher frequencies getting closely packed
(b, d)
Let En=-18ε02me4n2h2 be the energy of the nth level of H-atom. If all the H-atoms are in the ground state and radiation of frequency (E2-E1)h falls on it,
(a) it will not be absorbed at all(b) some of the atoms will move to the first excited state(c) all atoms will be excited to the n = 2 state(d) no atoms will make a transition to the n = 3 state
The simple Bohr model is not applicable to He4 atom because
(a) He4 is an inert gas(b) He4 has neutrons in the nucleus(c) He4 has one more electron(d) electrons are not subject to central forces

En = - 1.36n2 eV
En = -13.6×n2 eV
In Rutherford’s nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about 10-15 m) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius ≈ 10-10 m) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, then:
(The radius of the earth's orbit is about 1.5 x 1011m. The radius of the sun is taken as 7 x 108m.)
the earth will be closer to the sun than it is actually.
the earth will be farther away from the sun than it is actually.
the earth remains at the same distance from the sun as it is actually.
None of these
