Key Points: Bohr's Model for Hydrogen Atom

Bohr's model applies to one-electron species such as H, He⁺, Li²⁺, etc.

Postulates of Bohr's Model:

  1. Electrons revolve in fixed circular paths called stationary states, orbits, shells, or energy levels. Each has a definite, fixed energy. Energy of the electron increases as it moves away from the nucleus.

  2. Angular momentum of an electron is always an integral multiple of \[\frac{h}{2\pi}:\]
    \[mvr=n\cdot\frac{h}{2\pi}\]
    where m = mass, v = velocity, r = orbital radius, n = principal quantum number.

Energy is emitted or absorbed only when an electron jumps between energy levels — not while it is in a stationary orbit. When falling from higher (E₂) to lower (E₁) energy level:

\[\Delta E=E_2-E_1=h\nu=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\]
