Question

According to Bohr's atomic model, the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in any orbit is given by (n is the number of the orbit).

• A. n
• B. 2n
• C. $n^2$
• D. $2n^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$2{\mathrm{n}}^2$

• According to Bohr's atomic model, electrons travel in some fixed circular shells around the nucleus, known as energy levels or shells.
• The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 or the letters K, L, M, N, O, and P are used to indicate the energy levels or shells.
• Bohr and Bury determined the maximum number of electrons that can be placed in a given energy level or shell.
• The Bohr-Bury system states that $2{\mathrm{n}}^2$ is the maximum number of electrons may be accommodated in an atom's energy level (where n is the number of that energy level).
• According to Bohr's atomic model, the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in any orbit is given by $2{\mathrm{n}}^2$.
• Hence, option D is correct.
