Explanation:
Merits of Bohr's theory. (i) The experimental value of radii and energies in hydrogen atom are in good agreement with that calculated on the basis of Bohr's theory. (ii) Bohr's concept of stationary state of electron explains the emission and absorption spectra of hydrogen.
What are the demerits of Bohr model?
Drawbacks of Bohr's Model:
It was primarily for hydrogen atom. It couldn't elaborate spectra of multi-electron atoms. Wave nature of electron was not justified by the model (inconsistent with the de Broglie's hypothesis of dual nature of matter) It didn't illustrated molecules making process of chemical reactions.
