Question #2032d
1 Answer
In orbitals but it is an obsolete model...
Explanation:
The Bohr Model is essentially an "extension" of the Rutherford model. The only difference is, that electrons could gain or lose Energy only in discrete packets, or "Quantums" (Actually Quanta).
According to the Rutherford Model, the electrons spin around a massive nucleus.
Rutherford-Bohr model:
Bohr concluded that they would act like oscillating dipoles, and lose energy if this wasn't quantised. That would result in the electron eventually crashing onto the nucleus, and would result in an emission of electromagnetic radiation of all possible frequencies. This obviously wasn't the case: their spectrum only shows discrete lines. Bohr therefore proposed that the electron could only gain or lose Energy at discrete levels\
.
As mentioned, the model is obsolete now, replaced by the more accurate modern quantummechanical model....
