What is a drawback of Rutherford's Atomic Model?
What is a drawback of Rutherford's Atomic Model?
- It accurately describes the line spectrum of atoms.
- It can't explain the stability of the atom. (correct)
- It involves the concept of orbiting electrons.
- It predicts the velocity of light in the atom.
In Bohr's Atomic Model, what does an electron do in the 15th orbit?
In Bohr's Atomic Model, what does an electron do in the 15th orbit?
- The electron's velocity decreases.
- The electron escapes the atom.
- The electron's velocity remains fixed. (correct)
- The electron collapses into the nucleus.
Why can't Bohr's model explain the continuous spectrum of atoms?
Why can't Bohr's model explain the continuous spectrum of atoms?
