[ 1 ]
Bohr modified the Rutherford model by introducing the condition mvr=n2πh.
Outline the reason for this modification.
the electrons accelerate and so radiate energy;
they would therefore spiral into the nucleus/atoms would be unstable
electrons have discrete/only certain energy levels
the only orbits where electrons do not radiate are those that satisfy the Bohr condition mvr=n2πh
Calculate the electron's orbital radius in (c)(ii).
r=4π2×8.99×109×9.11×10−31×(1.6×10−19)2(6.63×10−34)2r=5.3×10−11 m
