List any three postulates of Bohr's atomic model.
Answers
Answer:
Each orbit or shell has a fixed energy and these circular orbits are known as orbital shells. The energy levels are represented by an integer (n=1, 2, 3…) known as the quantum number. ... shells and when an electron attains the lowest energy level, it is said to be in the ground state.
Explanation:
) An electron can revolve around the nucleus in certain fixed orbits of definite energy without emission of any radiant energy. Such orbits are called stationary orbits.
2) An electron can make a transition from a stationary state of higher energy
E
2
to a state of lower energy
E
1
and in doing so, it emits a single photon of frequency,

Conversely, on absorbing an energy,

when the electron is at energy

, the electron can make a transition from

to
