Solution

Features of Bohr's Model of an atom :

1)There is nucleus at the centre of an atom.
2)Electrons are revolving around the nucleus in a stationary states and these states are non radiating in energy.These are known as Orbits.
3)When the electrons moves from one state to another ,it loses or gains some fixed amount of energy.
4) Lines in spectrum are produced when an electron transfers from one state to another and in doing so loses or gains energy.
The energy of the light emitted is equal to the energy difference between the two orbits.

According to Rutherford Model of an atom the electrons move around the nucleus and accelerates and they emit radiations in doing so and fall off in the nucleus and the atom is destroyed.
But Bohr in his model of an atom proved the electrons are not falling off in the nucleus. But the energy changes occur when electron transition occurs from one orbit to other.
