For the ground state, the electron in the H-atom has an angular momentum = h 
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,
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Bohr's model give only the magnitude of angular momentum, which is vector
Hence, it does not give the correct value of angular momentum of resolving electron.
