In the Bohr model of the atom, which was supplanted by quantum mechanics, the electron attains stability when the coulombic attraction is balanced by the centrifugal effect of orbiting the nucleus. Bohr further proposed that the angular momentum was limited to integral values of ħ. Discuss what is wrong with the Bohr model, by comparing it to the quantum mechanical model, based on y = Rnl(r)Ylm1,(θ,φ). What features do Bohr's model miss?
