What does Bohr's model of the atom resemble the most? Plum pudding The solar system A basketball Snow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe you should go in the biology section or physics. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you just help me with this one if thats ok

In 1913 Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus. The motion of the electrons in the Rutherford model was unstable because, according to classical mechanics and electromagnetic theory, any charged particle moving on a curved path emits electromagnetic radiation; thus, the electrons would lose energy and spiral into the nucleus. To remedy the stability problem, Bohr modified the Rutherford model by requiring that the electrons move in orbits of fixed size and energy. The energy of an electron depends on the size of the orbit and is lower for smaller orbits. Radiation can occur only when the electron jumps from one orbit to another. The atom will be completely stable in the state with the smallest orbit, since there is no orbit of lower energy into which the electron can jump.

Read that and tell me what you think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am still not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first sentence basically tells you :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait, nevermind.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..... i still need help plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, it showed that electrons ORBIT the nucleus..so what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, B is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
