Answer:
D) The behavior of an atom's electrons can be described by circular orbits around a nucleus.
Explanation:
This statement is incorrect. The orbits of the electrons have different forms, not necessarily circular.
According to the atomic model of Schrödinger, which changed some characteristics to the Bohr model, the orbits of the electrons around the nucleus of the atom can be elliptical, or more complex than a circular orbit.
The other options apart from D are correct.
Statement D: The behavior of an atom's electrons can be described by circular orbits around a nucleus.
Statement D is incorrect.
What is an orbital electron?
According to the theory of Rutherford and Bohr, one of the electrons that revolve in an orbit about the nucleus of an atom is called an orbital electron.
From the given statements, D states that the behavior of an atom's electrons can be described by circular orbits around a nucleus.
This statement is incorrect. It is not necessary that the orbits of the electrons have a circular form, they can be in different forms.
The orbits of the electrons around the nucleus of the atom can be elliptical, or more complex than a circular orbit. This elliptical orbit of the electron is described in Schrodinger's model of the atom.
Erwin Schrodinger's model is more complex and was proposed in 1926. His model defeated Bohr's idea of fixed orbits.
Schrodinger's model of the atom is a more accurate representation of the molecular activity within an atom.
Hence statement D is incorrect. The other statements are correct.
