What are the postulates of Bohr's model of an atom?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Bohr's Model**: Bohr's model of the atom was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913 to explain the behavior of electrons in atoms, particularly hydrogen. 2. **First Postulate**: Electrons revolve around the nucleus in certain definite circular paths called orbits or shells. These orbits are designated as K, L, M, N, etc., where N represents the principal quantum number (N = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...). 3. **Second Postulate**: The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a shell is given by the formula 2N². For example: - For N = 1 (K shell), maximum electrons = 2(1)² = 2 ...
