A. ‘Electrons jump from one orbit to another orbit.’ Justify this statement on the basis of Bohr’s theory.
B) Give schematic representation to show how the electrons are arranged in an atom of X.
Please can someone give the answer for the questions quick i am running out of time

Answer:
A) Electrons are moving in their respective circular shells as stated by Rutherford under an influence of electrostatic force . But James Clerk Maxwell stated that if any particle moved under an influence of electrostatic force then it must start radiating energy and will collapse into the atom . But we very well know that the atom is quite stable . Bohr provided a solution to it
He stated that electrons are moving in a shell having definite amount of energy called orbits and do not radiate or gain energy while moving in their particular shell . But sometimes in an excited state they move from one shell to another . While moving from a lower energy shell to a higher energy shell , it gains energy and vice versa . This movement of electrons from one shell to another can be seen in elements having atomic number larger than 18 .
