Bohr Model¶
The Bohr model is an obsolete model of the atom that incorporated some early quantum concepts. The idea is that the atom consists of a small, dense atomic nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Among other postulates, it assumed the following:
The atom can only absorb or radiate discrete amounts of energy, which in turn is proportional to the frequency of absorbed or radiated light.
The electrons still obey ordinary mechanics in stationary orbits.
