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.

Why did scienist revise bohr's model?

Because Bohr's model was wrong. As physics progressed it was quickly realized that his model did not fit what was actualy happening so new models were created.


What is a model in which the arrangement of the electrons are shown?

A model that illustrates the arrangement of electrons in an atom is the Bohr model or the quantum mechanical model. These models depict the distribution of electrons in different energy levels or orbitals around the nucleus of an atom. Each model helps visualize the structure of an atom and how electrons occupy specific regions around the nucleus based on their energy.
