The Bohr's atom model is still used because of its simplicity, and its correct results for selected systems. The Bohr model is still taught to introduce students to quantum mechanics or energy level diagrams.

∙ 16y agoThe Bohr model of the atom defines specific radiai that the electrons can orbit the nucleus at. Quantum theory has led to the development of the concept of orbitals, areas that the electron is most likely to be found at as defined by its schrodinger equation.

∙ 11y agoBohr model was incorrect because the model did not account for the elements with more than one electron. It proved success for only when dealing with the Hydrogen atom because it only had one electron. Every elements with more than one electrons and thus different and higherquantum energy levels could not be used in the fixed model of Bohr's/

∙ 14y agoHis model was not accepted because it only worked for the Hydrogen atom, which has only 1 electron. It wouldn't for any other atoms because they have more than 1 electron, and we do not know the direct paths the electrons follow.
Hopes this helps

What does symbol n refers in the Bohr theory of atomic structure?
There is no N in Bohrs. But his first name was Neils
Is the theory of spontaneous generation considered to be correct or incorrect?
Incorrect nowadays.
How does the cell theory show that Darwin's theory of evolution was incorrect?
It does not. Cell theory is fully compatible with evolutionary theory. Does this mean we know everything about the evolution of cells? No. We say we do not know, not that cell theory shows that evolutionary theory is incorrect. ( except, of course, if you are referring to heritability. This Darwin got wrong, but this is not directly related to cell theory )
Is it correct or incorrect in science to define a theory as someone's best guess about an aspect of nature?
If a scientist were being modest, then yes. But a true theory is backed up by scientific data and observation. So your answer is Incorrect.
What is the nickname for bohrs model of atoms?
the planetary model

Is the theory of spontaneous generation considered to be correct or incorrect?
Incorrect nowadays.
Who created a incorrect theory of the universe?
god
A theory which repeatedly fails to confirm the expected predictions is?
is probably an incorrect theory
What was the one thing that LaVoisier was incorrect about?
Caloric theory.
How can a scientific theory be incorrect but still be considered a good scientific theory?
If all the evidence taken into consideration can be explained by the scientific model proposed and the model successfully predicts outcomes of experiments yet to be performed, it is a "good scientific theory" It still can be incorrect. If it is proven incorrect it should be abandoned.
How does the cell theory show that Darwin's theory of evolution was incorrect?
It does not. Cell theory is fully compatible with evolutionary theory. Does this mean we know everything about the evolution of cells? No. We say we do not know, not that cell theory shows that evolutionary theory is incorrect. ( except, of course, if you are referring to heritability. This Darwin got wrong, but this is not directly related to cell theory )
Is future testing prove a scientific theory to be incorrect?
yes it can
Can you change a theory?
yes you can, in theory. But it is very difficult to change an established 'ruling paradigm' (however incorrect).
When does scientific theory need modification or replacement by new theory?
When there wrong about there theory. Like for example , if a scientist creates a new theory, but research proved it incorrect.
Lemarck's ideas of evolution are known as the inheritance of acquired characteristics what was incorrect about his theory of how organisms evolve?

Was Niels Bohrs theory widely accepted in his time or not?
Yes because he publicised his ideas well. He knew people in journals, wrote a lot and spoke to lots of people to persuade him of his ideas.
