Question

Which of the following statements correctly describe the recognized limitations or failures of Bohr's atomic model?

Answer: A,B,D

💡 Solution & Explanation

Bohr's model is only applicable to single-electron species. It fails for multi-electron atoms, cannot explain fine structure (doublets), and cannot explain the Zeeman or Stark effects. Furthermore, it completely violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle by assigning fixed orbits (simultaneously defined position and momentum).
