Question

Which of the following statement is correct regarding the Neils Bohr's model of an atom?

• A. Energy has no role in movement of electrons.
• B. Electrons move to higher energy orbits by emitting energy.
• C. Electrons move to higher energy orbits by absorbing energy.
• D. Electrons move to lower energy orbits by absorbing energy.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Electrons move to higher energy orbits by absorbing energy.

Bohr's atomic model proposed that when an electron jumps from an higher orbit to a lower orbit, it releases energy in the form of radiations.

Similarly, when an electron jumps from lower orbit to a higher orbit it absorbs energy in the form of radiations.
