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
Which of the following is one of the postulates of Rutherford's theory?
Which of the following is one of the postulates of Rutherford's theory?
- A. Electrons continuously lose energy
- B. Electrons move in a spiral path around the nucleus
- C. Electrons revolve in a specific path around the nucleus
- D. Electrons revolve in a stationary orbit
Step-by-step solution
Rutherford's atomic model proposed that electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular paths, though it did not specify why they do not spiral into the nucleus. Options A and B describe classical instability, and D is a Bohr postulate.
