Match Column I with Column II in hydrogen atom spectrum. — Atomic Structure Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

(A) Lyman series falls in the ultraviolet region (S). Since it originates from the ground state ($n=1$), it is uniquely observed in the absorption spectrum of unexcited atoms (R). (B) Balmer series falls primarily in the visible region (P), though its higher energy transitions extend into the UV region (S). (C) Paschen series falls in the infrared region (Q). (D) Brackett series falls in the infrared region (Q). Therefore, correct answer is A-R,S; B-P,S; C-Q; D-Q.
