Question

Explain the failure of borh's theory

Answer 1

The reasons for the failure of the Bohr model are ;

1) In Bohr model, an electron is regarded as a charged particle moving in different circular orbits about the nucleus .

2)The wave character of the electron is not considered in Bohr model .

3) This theory could not explain the presence of multiple spectral lines.

Thanks!

Answer 2
