Which of the following is a reasonable criticism of the Bohr model of the atom? Select one:

a. It makes no attempt to explain why the negative electron does not eventually fall into the positive nucleus.

b. It does not adequately predict the line spectrum of hydrogen.

c. It does not adequately predict the ionization energy of the valence electron (s) for elements other than hydrogen.

d. It does not adequately predict the ionization energy of the first energy level electrons for one-electron species for elements other than hydrogen.

e. It shows the electrons to exist outside of the nucleus.

Option c.

Explanation:

Bohr's model of atom explained the following:

1. Electrons move around the nucleus with orbits of fixed energy and size.

2. When a transition is made between energy levels radiation is either emitted or absorbed.

3. The orbit energy is directly related to orbital size.

Some of the limitations of Bohr's model are:

1. For larger atoms other than hydrogen, spectral predictions are not accurate.

2. The prediction of ionization energy of the valence electrons of larger elements were not adequate.

3. It violates Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

c. It does not adequately predict the ionization energy of the valence electron (s) for elements other than hydrogen

Explanation:

Bohr's model of atom postulates that electrons revolve in an orbit round the nucleus of an atom at various energy levels.

The Nucleus contains proton which is positively charge, and neutron which has no charge.
