Chemistry · Bohr model of a hydrogen atom: its postulates, derivation of the relations for the energy of the electron and radii of the different orbits, limitations of Bohr's model
Bohr's model explains:
Bohr's model explains:
- A. the spectrum of hydrogen atom only
- B. the spectrum of any atom or ion having one electron only
- C. the spectrum of hydrogen molecule
- D. the solar spectrum
Step-by-step solution
Bohr's model successfully explains the spectrum of one-electron systems (like H, He+, Li2+). It fails for multi-electron atoms and molecules, so option B is correct.
