An electron cannot occupy an intermediate orbit between n = 2 and n = 3. Give reason.

Answer:

For an intermediate orbit in between\[n=2\]and\[n=3,\]the value of ?n? is fractional \[\Rightarrow \] \[mvr=\frac{nh}{2\pi }\]is not satisfied. And the electron cannot stay in this orbit \[\Rightarrow \]Orbit is not possible.
