Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which was a limitation of the Bohr model of the atom?
A
It was valid only for single electron atoms like Hydrogen
B
It stated that only certain energies were allowed for electrons.
C
It described the electron as a wave and a particle.
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The Bohr atomic model theory considers electrons to have both a known radius and orbit i.e. known position and momentum at the same time, which is impossible according to Heisenberg.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bohr’s model of an atom was not able to explain the line spectrum of hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bohr’s atomic model is valid only for single electron species because it does not consider forces due to inter-electronic attractions.
