Question

a)Describe Bohr's model of
an atom. (b) Draw a sketch of
Bohr's model of an atom with 3
shells. (c) What was the drawback
of Rutherford's model of an atom?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom is based on three postulates: (1) an electron moves around the nucleus in a circular orbit, (2) an electron's angular momentum in the orbit is quantized, and (3) the change in an electron's energy as it makes a quantum jump from one orbit to another is always accompanied by the ...

Drawback:

It was primarily for hydrogen atom. It couldn't elaborate spectra of multi-electron atoms. Wave nature of electron was not justified by the model (inconsistent with the de Broglie's hypothesis of dual nature of matter) It didn't illustrated molecules making process of chemical reactions.
