### Step-by-Step Solution: **1. Postulates of Bohr's Model of Atom:** - **Electron Movement**: Electrons move around the nucleus in circular paths known as orbits or shells. - **Stability of Orbits**: The electrons in these orbits do not radiate energy, which means they do not spiral into the nucleus. This stability is due to the balance of forces acting on the electron. - **Forces Acting on Electrons**: There are two forces acting on the revolving electron: - **Centripetal Force**: This force acts towards the nucleus, keeping the electron in its circular path. - **Centrifugal Force**: This force acts outward, opposing the centripetal force. For the electron to remain in a stable orbit, these two forces must be equal. ...
