Question
According to Bohr, 'Angular momentum of an orbiting electron is quantized'. What is meant by this statement?

Solution
This means that electron revolves around the nucleus in fixed i.e., quantized orbits and do not radiate energy i.e., angular momentum in these orbits is an integral multiple of `h/(2pi)`, where h is Planck's constant.
