1.	Mention demerits of Bohr’s Atomic model.
Answer» Demerits of Bohr’s atomic model : Bohr’s atomic model (theory) failed to account for finer details of the atomic spectrum of hydrogen as observed in sophisticated spectroscopic experiments. Bohr’s atomic model (theory) was unable to explain the spectrum of atoms other than hydrogen. Bohr’s atomic model (theory) could not explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field (Zeeman effect) or electric field (Stark effect). Bohr’s atomic model (theory) failed to explain the ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.
