Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Hard and Soft Acids and Bases (HSAB) theory was introduced by Pearson.

  2. Hard acids prefer binding to soft bases.

  3. Hard acids have high energy LUMOs and hard bases have high energy HOMOs.

  4. Hard acids and bases are small and non-polarisable.

  5. Soft acids and bases are large and more polarisable.

Which of the following statements is not true?

  1. Hydrogen has the simplest line spectrum among all the elements.

  2. Absorption spectrum is formed when atoms or molecules are excited from a lower energy level to a higher energy level.

  3. Emission spectrum is formed when atoms or molecules are de-excited from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.

  4. Line Spectra are also known as molecular spectra.

  5. Band spectra is formed due to the vibrations and rotations of atoms in molecules.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This option is correct because this statement is not true. Line spectra are also called atomic spectra because the lines represent wavelengths radiated from atoms when electrons change from one energy level to another.
Band spectra are also known as molecular spectra because they are produced when the emitting substance is in the molecular state.
