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 emission or absorption of a photon. Bohr’s model is semi-classical because it combines the classical concept of electron orbit (postulate 1) with the new concept of quantization

Answer:
Postulates of Bohr's atomic model
- Electron revolve around the nucleus in a fixed circular path termed as orbits or shells .
- An electron’s angular momentum in an orbit is quantized.
- The energy of an electron in a certain orbit remains constant. As long as it remains in that orbit, it neither emits nor absorbs energy. These are termed as stationary states .
- When an electron jumps from a higher orbit to a lower orbit it releases energy in the form of radiations and when an electron jumps from lower orbit to a higher orbit it absorbs energy in the form of radiation.
Explanation:
- Each orbit or shell has a fixed energy and these circular orbits are known as orbital shell.
- Electron revolve around nucleus only in those orbits in which angular momentum L is an integral multiple of i.e., angular momentum is quantized.
- Electrons are revolving around nucleus in allowed orbits (stationary states) do not emit electromagnetic radiation and the total energy remains constant.
- During transition between two stationary states ,energy can be absorbed or emitted or absorbed ,whose frequency is given by ν
