Question

why do the successive gaps between the shells of an atom decrease as one moves away from the nucleus

Answer 1

The Bohr atomic model was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1915. He came to the conclusion that electrons orbit in shells around the nucleus of an atom, theshells having discrete energy levels. ... Bohr assumed that the electron moved around the proton in a circle due to the Coulomb force between the electron and proton.
