Chapter 6, Problem 6.26PAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The novel aspect of Bohr’s model of atom should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

In 1915, Neils Bohr proposed a theory to explain atom and its model. This theory was a modification of Rutherford’s model which was able to remove the drawbacks of Rutherford’s model. This model was based on the finding of α-rays scattering experiments.

According to the Bohr’s atomic model, the positive charge was proposed to be in the center of the atom under the nucleus and the electrons were said to be revolving round the nucleus in fixed energy orbitals having quantized energy.
