Bohr model Definition and 98 Threads

Bohr model had a flaw that electrons would emit EM radiations and would spiral into the nucleus - but he just said that it wouldn't happen providing no reasons Do the modern models of atom explain - why electrons won't emit EM radiations?

I am currently studying wave-particle duality. However, at the moment I do not see how the Bohr Model is connected to this topic. I know that the Bohr Model failed to recognise various aspects of the atom and that it works only for single atoms e.g. Hydrogen, but what did it fail to do when it...

hi i thought that if i try to derive the energy of an electron in a magnetic field, this could be done with the assumptions of the bohr model. L=n h/(2π) mv²/r=qvB => mvr=qBr²=>n h/(2π)=qBr² E=p²/(2m)=q²B²r²/(2m)=n h/(2π)qB/(2m) so i get the energy for the first level, but all transitions...

Bohr incorporates Plancks's quantum theory into his model, placing conditions on the value of the angular momentum. angular momentum = nh/2pi n=principal quantum number h= Planck's constant since its giving me the angular momentum, is it actually giving me a number that corresponds to...

hello, i am studying chemistry. There are a lot of things i do not understand though. This is not homework, just studies of my own that i would like to reach a deeper understand of. I love the responses i have read, so decided to make an account and learn from all you geniuses! Bohr model...

I think a problem with the bohr model of the atom was that if the electron was in orbit around the nucleus, it would keep emitting radiation of longer and longer wavelengths until it falls into nucleus. Why does an electron in orbit necessarily have to emit radiation?

Even though Bohr's model is defunct, one important element of it survived, namely the strictly quantized orbiting radii of electrons. Supposedly this mended the gaping flaw of Rutherford's model in that it predicted that electrons would no longer lose energy to photon emission thereby causing...

[SOLVED] Bohr Model of H-atom Hi, Would anyone be good enough to explain why the 1s2p splitting in a hydrogen atom is 3/4 of the total binding energy? Would it have anything to do with the Rydberg energy? E = - 13.6eV/n^2 I appear to have floated through my degree blissfully...

Why does in QM the electron does not fall toward the nucleus? After all, the only force between nucleus and electron is attractive (- electron and + nucleus). Is the same reason that justifies the moon does not fall to the earth?

Why the uncertainly relation ΔxΔp>h forces us to reject the semiclassical Bohr model for the hydrogen atom?
