Why do some education systems still continue to teach Bohr's model even though it's seen to be incorrect?
Then how did they do those in the exams?jtbell said:I eventually stopped spending time on the details of the classical-mechanics type derivations associated with it (centripetal force, speed of the electron in an orbit, etc.) and assigning homework problems relating to those details.
I kept only the formula for the discrete energy levels and gave the usual exercises on spectral lines and energy-level transitions.

Bohrs Model is an important concept in the history of atomic structure and serves as the foundation for understanding more complex atomic models. It also introduces the idea of quantized energy levels, which is essential for understanding many other scientific principles.
While Bohrs Model is not the most accurate representation of atomic structure, it still has practical applications in fields such as chemistry and physics. It also serves as a simplified model for introductory science courses.
Bohrs Model is a simplified version of the more complex quantum mechanical models that we use today. It does not take into account the wave-like nature of particles and does not accurately represent the location of electrons in an atom.
No, Bohrs Model cannot accurately predict atomic behavior. It is a simplified model that only works for atoms with one electron, such as hydrogen. It does not account for the interactions between multiple electrons in more complex atoms.
It is unlikely that Bohrs Model will be completely replaced, as it still has practical applications and serves as an important concept in the history of science. However, it has been built upon and improved by more modern atomic models, such as the quantum mechanical model.
