What significant change to the atom model did Bohr make

Question

isaiah.feynman · Answer

He proposed the solar system model...but it turned out to be wrong.

praxer · Answer

Bohr stated that only those circular orbits are possible as the stationary energy states of an electron, where the angular momentum is an integral multiple of h/2pi . Moreover as a correction to the rutherford's model. This model could state more effectively about the stability of the atom. As in the Rutherford's model the electron developed a spiral motion. But in this model electrons had defined stationary states.

Can you list three ways that the bohr model is good ?

praxer · Answer

1. This model could explain easily the spectral lines seen in the hydrogen atom.
2. About the stability of an atom, i.e. as a correction to rutherford's limitation.
3. It explained about the matter waves associated with the particle matter i.e. the electron.
