Topic : Bohr’s Atomic Model

1. The first use of Quantum theory to explain the structure of Live Quiz
atom was made by
a) Heisenberg b) Bohr c) Rutherford d) Plank
2. According to Bohr's atomic model, false statements are

a) Electron in H-atom can have only certain values of angluar momentum
b) Electron have particle as well as wave character
c) Atomic spectrum of an element should contain only five lines
d) It can explain fine spectrum
3. The ratio of the radius of the second Bohr orbit for Li+2 to
the second Bohr orbit for is
a) 3 : 2 b) 4 : 3 c) 1 : 3 d) 2 : 3
• Bohr retained the essential features of
the Rutherford model of the atom.
• In order to account for the stability of

an atom and atomic spectra he
introduced the concept of the
stationary orbits based on quantum
theory.
• Important postulates of Bohr’s model
are,
(i) An atom consists of nucleus where

the total mass and positive charge is
concentrated.
(ii) Electrons revolve around the nucleus

in certain fixed circular paths called
orbits.
(iii) When an electron moves in a fixed
orbit it does not lose or gain
energy continuously.
• Hence such orbits are called

stationary or non-radiating orbits.
• Different energy levels are

indicated by 1,2,3,4 ….. or K, L,
M, N…. etc.
(iv) The angular momentum of revolving electron is
quantized.
• The angular momentum of revolving electron is an
integral multiple of h/2. where h is the Planck’s
constant.
• If ‘m’ is the mass and  is the velocity of electron in a
permitted orbit of radius ‘r’ then,

Angular Momentum 𝐿 = 𝑛
2𝜋
n is referred as principal quantum number
(v) If sufficient energy is given to an electron, it may jump
(excite) from lower energy level to higher energy level by
absorbing energy.
• The quantum of energy absorbed is equal to the difference in
energies of the two orbits.
• When the excited electron loses energy and goes to lower
energy states energy is emitted.
• Energy absorbed or released in an electron transition is given
by,

Significance of negative energy
The energy of an electron at infinity (where
the nucleus has no hold over the electron) is
assumed to be zero.
As the electron approaches the nucleus, its

energy keeps on decreasing and reaches a
minimum at its orbit.
i.e., the electron is stabilized by that

amount of energy.
