How did Niels Bohr describe electrons in his atomic model?
Flexi Says:
In Bohr’s atomic model, electrons move around the nucleus only at fixed distances from the nucleus based on the amount of energy they have. The fixed distances where electrons may orbit are called energy levels.
Bohr arrived at his model by applying Planck’s idea of energy quanta to Rutherford’s atomic model of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
