Question
State three postulates of Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom.
Advertisements
Solution
Neil Bohr's major three postulates about Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom are:
- Atoms contain a number of stable orbits in which electrons can live without producing energy; each orbit corresponds to a specific amount of energy.
- When an electron jumps from one orbit to another, there is an energy difference equal to E = nhν because the energy of the outer orbit is greater than the energy of the inner orbit.
- The angular momentum of the electron is quantized which can be shown as:
L = `(nh)/(2pi)`, where n = 1, 2, 3, ..........
