Solution

Neil Bohr's major three postulates about Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom are:

  1. Atoms contain a number of stable orbits in which electrons can live without producing energy; each orbit corresponds to a specific amount of energy.
  2. 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.
  3. The angular momentum of the electron is quantized which can be shown as:
    L = `(nh)/(2pi)`, where n = 1, 2, 3, ..........
