Bohr atomic model

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the atomic-structure subtree

Bohr's 1913 semi-classical atomic model: electrons occupy quantised circular orbits with angular momentum L = nℏ; transitions between orbits emit or absorb photons of energy ΔE. Reproduces the Rydberg formula for hydrogen but fails for…
