The Bohr model of the atom which placed the electrons at definite distances from the nucleus is known as what?
These positions for the electrons are called circular orbits.
How did Bohr change the Rutherford model of the atom?
Answer 1:He improved on Rutherford's model by showing that electrons don't spiral inward to the core of the nucleus. Instead the electrons are on a set course.Answer 2:Another significant advantage of Bohr's model over Rutherford's, as well its accounting for the stability of atoms (as noted in the previous answer), was its ability to account for the observed wavelengths of the spectral lines, at least for hydrogen.Although some aspects of the model were unsatisfactory (its rather ad hoc nature, the difficulty in applying it to multi-electron atoms, etc.), this remarkable agreement with experiment was a strong indication that Bohr's thinking was along the right lines. As we now know, Bohr's basic postulates were quite correct: the orbital angular momentum of electrons is indeed quantised, and electrons transition between allowed states by absorbing or emitting photons. Both of these assumptions became predictions of the quantum theory which was soon to follow.
What is bohr model of the atom?
The Bohr model of the atom is based on four fundamental postulates. Although he did not claim to explain or prove these postulates, Bohr found that by applying them, he could predict the properties of single-electron atoms and ions to an amazing degree of accuracy. Using the Bohr model, it is possible to accurately predict the energy levels of all one-electron atoms and ions, such as H, He+, Li2+ Be3+, B4+, C5+, etc.The four key postulates of Bohr's theory are:1) Atoms have well-defined electron orbits.2) Atoms do not radiate.3) Electrons travel in circular orbits with specific angular momenta, and only certain values are possible (angular momentum is quantized).4) As electrons go from one orbit to the next, energy is either absorbed or released by the atom.The quantized angular momentum can be written as:I = n * (h/2*pi)where I is the angular momentum, n is any integer, h is Planck's constant, and pi is the number pi, or 3.14159.See Web Links and Related QuestionsSee the Related Questions and Web Links to the left for the answer. Overview of the Bohr ModelNiels Bohr proposed the Bohr Model of the Atom in 1915. Because the Bohr Model is a modification of the earlier Rutherford Model, some people call Bohr's Model the Rutherford-Bohr Model. The modern model of the atom is based on quantum mechanics. The Bohr Model contains some errors, but it is important because it describes most of the accepted features of atomic theory without all of the high-level math of the modern version. Unlike earlier models, the Bohr Model explains the Rydberg formula for the spectral emission lines of atomic hydrogen. The Bohr Model is a planetary model in which the negatively-charged electrons orbit a small, positively-charged nucleus similar to the planets orbiting the Sun (except that the orbits are not planar). The gravitational force of the solar system is mathematically akin to the Coulomb (electrical) force between the positively-charged nucleus and the negatively-charged electrons.Main Points of the Bohr ModelElectrons orbit the nucleus in orbits that have a set size and energy.The energy of the orbit is related to its size. The lowest energy is found in the smallest orbit.Radiation is absorbed or emitted when an electron moves from one orbit to another. Bohr Model of HydrogenThe simplest example of the Bohr Model is for the hydrogen atom (Z = 1) or for a hydrogen-like ion (Z > 1), in which a negatively-charged electron orbits a small positively-charged nucleus. Electromagnetic energy will be absorbed or emitted if an electron moves from one orbit to another. Only certain electron orbits are permitted. The radius of the possible orbits increases as n2, where n is the principal quantum number. The 3 → 2 transition produces the first line of the Balmer series. For hydrogen (Z = 1) this produces a photon having wavelength 656 nm (red light).Problems with the Bohr ModelIt violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle because it considers electrons to have both a known radius and orbit.The Bohr Model provides an incorrect value for the ground state orbital angular momentum.It makes poor predictions regarding the spectra of larger atoms.It does not predict the relative intensities of spectral lines.The Bohr Model does not explain fine structure and hyperfine structure in spectral lines.It does not explain the Zeeman Effect.
Why are Bohr models useful?
The Bohr model of the atom is important because it better described the structure of these tiny particles we call atoms. Of particular importance is the idea that electrons, those tiny negative charges, move around the nucleus in orbitals or energy levels. This opened the door (busted it down, actually) to a much clearer understanding of chemistry and a host of electromagnetic phenomenon. A link can be found below for more information. It also opened the door to quantum mechanics.
Is a law a proven theory?
No. A law is a description of an observed pattern in the universe. A theory is a model that explains observations. E.g. atomic theory explains many of the things that matter does. There will not be a time in the future when we will call it "atomic law" because the model of atoms is concerned with explaining the behavior of matter, not describing it.
