Question

Reason for failure of the bhors model note

Answer 1

Answer:

The reasons for the failure of the Bohr model are ;

1) In Bohr's 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's model.

3)Further, an Orbit is a clearly defined path and this path can completely be defined only if both the position and the velocity of the electron are known exactly at the same time .

4)This is not possible according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle .

5) Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, therefore, not only ignores dual    behavior of matter but also contradicts Heisenberg uncertainty principle .
