JEE Main Chemistry question

The statement that does not belong to Bohr's model of the atom is

(A)Energy of the electrons in the orbit is quantized
(B)The electron in the orbit nearest the nucleus is in the lowest energy state
(C)Electrons revolve in different orbits around the nucleus
(D)The electrons emit energy during revolution due to the presence of Coulombic forces of attractionCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

A central postulate of Bohr's model is that an electron moving in one of the allowed stationary orbits does NOT radiate energy, despite the Coulombic attraction — this was precisely Bohr's fix to the classical
