What is the main reason for the stability of the electron orbits in an atom according to the Bohr model? (2019)
  1. Electrons are stationary.
  2. Electrons are attracted to the nucleus.
  3. Electrons have quantized energy levels.
  4. Electrons are repelled by each other.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main reason for the stability of the electron orbits in an atom according to the Bohr model? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that an atom has a nucleus at its center, which is positively charged.
  • Step 2: Know that electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus.
  • Step 3: Learn about the Bohr model, which describes how electrons move in specific paths or orbits.
  • Step 4: Realize that these orbits are not random; they are quantized, meaning electrons can only exist in certain energy levels.
  • Step 5: Understand that because electrons can only occupy these specific energy levels, they do not lose energy and spiral into the nucleus.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the quantized energy levels create stable orbits for the electrons around the nucleus.
