**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Introduction to Niels Bohr's Model**: Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom that introduced a new understanding of electron arrangement around the nucleus. 2. **Electrons in Orbits**: According to Bohr, electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific paths called orbits or energy levels. These orbits are not random; they are defined and quantized. 3. **Permitted Orbits**: Bohr identified that only certain orbits are allowed for electrons. These are termed "permitted orbits," and each of these orbits has a specific energy associated with it. ...
