Questions and Answers

What is the central idea of the Bohr theory of atomic structure?

  • Electrons jump from one energy level to another in a continuous manner
  • Electrons occupy specific energy levels and jump from one level to another (correct)
  • Electrons are stationary at the nucleus of the atom
  • Protons and neutrons are responsible for the atomic structure

What is the main difference between the Rutherford model and the Bohr model of atomic structure?

  • Rutherford model has a nucleus with protons only while Bohr model has a nucleus with protons and neutrons
  • Rutherford model has electrons orbiting the nucleus in a random manner while Bohr model has electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels (correct)
  • Rutherford model has a solid nucleus while Bohr model has a hollow nucleus
  • Rutherford model has electrons in fixed energy levels while Bohr model has electrons in random energy levels

What is the significance of energy levels in the Bohr model of atomic structure?

  • Energy levels are responsible for the movement of electrons in the nucleus
  • Energy levels are the regions around the nucleus where electrons orbit (correct)
  • Energy levels are the paths through which electrons jump from one energy level to another
  • Energy levels determine the chemical properties of an element
