Write Bohr's Model of Hydrogen atom and its limitations.

Answer»

Bohr's Model of Hydrogen Atom : 

(1) Electrons in an atom occupy stationary orbits of fixed energy at different distances from the nucleus. 

(2) When an electron jumps from a lower energy state to a higher energy state it absorbs energy or emits energy when such a jump occur from a higher energy state to a lower energy state. 

(3) The energies of an electron in an atom can have only certain values. E1, E2, E3 ...that is the energy is quantized.The states corresponding to these energies are called stationary states and the possible values of the energy are called energy levels. Limitations : Bohr's model failed to account for splitting of line spectra.
