NEET Physics Bohr Model MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about Bohr's model of the atom is correct?
Bohr's model applies only to hydrogenic atoms and explains their spectral lines accurately.
Bohr's model can be extended to multi-electron atoms and provides complete explanations for all spectral phenomena.
Bohr's model is based on the assumption of circular orbits corresponding to standing wave patterns.
Bohr's model fails to explain the discrete spectral lines of hydrogen atoms.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Bohr's model is indeed applicable only to hydrogenic atoms (single electron) and cannot be extended to multi-electron atoms. It also provides a basic explanation for the observed spectral lines of hydrogen, though not for the relative intensities.
