Solution
- Bohr’s atomic model (theory) failed to account for finer details of the atomic spectrum of hydrogen as observed in sophisticated spectroscopic experiments.
- Bohr’s atomic model (theory) was unable to explain the spectrum of atoms other than hydrogen.
- Bohr’s atomic model (theory) could not explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field (Zeeman effect) or electric field (Stark effect).
- Bohr’s atomic model (theory) failed to explain the ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.
