The Nobel Prize for physics was given to Niels Bohr in 1922 for developing a model of the hydrogen atom. Which of the following is not true of the Bohr model?
a) Bohr assumed that the electron in the hydrogen atom moved in circular orbits.
b) The energy levels calculated with the equations from the Bohr model, closely agreed with the experimental hydrogen emission spectra.
c) The Bohr model has been shown to accurately predict the energy levels of all known atoms.
d) According to the Bohr model, the closer an electron is to the nucleus, the lower its energy.
e) According to the Bohr model, each orbit was an allowed energy state for the electrons.
Ans C) The Bohr model has been shown to accurately predict the energy levels of all known atoms .
This statement is not true for the Bohr's model , because the Bohr's model , could explain the quantum mechanics or energy level diagrams for only hydrogen like species . Hydrogen like species , that had one electron in their atom , such as hydrogen , He+ , Li2+.
