  1. Question 1

    Q1. What fundamental difference exists between the Bohr model and the Schrödinger model of hydrogen?

    • A) Bohr allows elliptical orbits
    • B) Schrödinger model uses wave functions
    • C) Bohr includes quantum tunneling
    • D) Schrödinger model predicts discrete energy levels

    Answer: Schrödinger model uses wave functions

    Explanation: Wave functions (B) describe quantum states, unlike Bohr's orbits (A).
