Clarification about Bohr's atomic model

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around Bohr's atomic model and its postulates, specifically questioning the involvement of the Bohr-Bury scheme in these postulates. Participants explore the relationship between these concepts and their implications for understanding atomic structure.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on whether the Bohr-Bury scheme is part of Bohr's postulates for his atomic model.
  • Another participant suggests that the Bohr model may not be worth focusing on, indicating that the Bohr-Bury scheme is better explained by the Pauli exclusion principle.
  • A third participant acknowledges the role of the exclusion principle but expresses a personal motivation related to scoring marks on a test.
  • A later reply reiterates the personal motivation for the inquiry, emphasizing the desire to clarify the topic for academic purposes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the relevance of the Bohr-Bury scheme to Bohr's postulates, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the significance of the Bohr model in this context.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying levels of interest in the Bohr model and its implications, with some focusing on academic performance rather than theoretical understanding.

Hey guys!
Not a brain scratcher as such, just a clarification. When we talk about Bohr's postulates for his atomic model, would the Bohr-Bury scheme be involved in it? like in his postulates?

I'd not bother with the Bohr model too much. Today the Bohr-Bury scheme is explained by the Pauli principle.
 
Yeah, I get that exclusion explains it, but the reason I am asking is to redeem a couple marks in a test😅

We can't help with that.
