Give the advantages of Bohr's model of atom. What are the limitations of Bohr's theory?
Answers
Answer:
Bohr's atomic model explained the stability of an atom. ... Such state of an atom possesses more energy than possessed in the ground state is called the excited state. 3) Bohr's theory could predict the values of energies which an electron can have while revolving around the nucleus of hydrogen in hydrogen atom.
Answer:
Bohr's model accounts for the stability of atoms because the electron cannot lose more energy than it has in the smallest orbit, the one with n = 1. The model also explains the Balmer formula for the spectral lines of hydrogen. The light energy is the difference in energies between the two orbits in the Bohr formula.
Explanation:
The Bohr Model is very limited in terms of size. Poor spectral predictions are obtained when larger atoms are in question. It cannot predict the relative intensities of spectral lines. It does not explain the Zeeman Effect, when the spectral line is split into several components in the presence of a magnetic field.
