Chemistry Structure of Atom MHT CET 2024

Which from following statements is NOT correct regarding Bohr model ?

(A)It failed to account for finer details of hydrogen spectrum.
(B)It is unable to explain atomic spectrum other than hydrogen.
(C)It explains Zeeman effect.Correct
(D)It failed to explain ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.

Answer: (C)

Solution

The limitations of Bohr's model are: (i) it could not explain the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum (splitting of lines, seen with high-resolution spectrographs), (ii) it applies only to one-electron species (H, He, Li) and cannot explain the spectra of multi-electron atoms, (iii) it could not explain
