Question

Select the correct statements that were proposed by Neils Bohr regarding the model of an atom.

• A. The electron can have only certain energies, including a lowest-level ground state
• B. Electrons emit energy as light when they move to lower energy orbits
• C. Electrons absorb energy by moving to higher energy orbits.
• D. All of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A

The electron can have only certain energies, including a lowest-level ground state

B

Electrons emit energy as light when they move to lower energy orbits

C

Electrons absorb energy by moving to higher energy orbits.

According to Bohr, the electron can have only certain energies, including a lowest-level ground state, electrons emit energy as light when they move to lower energy orbits and electrons absorb energy by moving to higher energy orbits.

The orbits an electron can exist is fixed.
