Question

bohrs model says electrons can only exist at certain places around the atom called energy levels. what is the evidence he gave for proof? alpha particles reflected off of the gold foil. atoms all have a ray of energy that bends toward a positive charge. atoms can absorb or release certain energies of light.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Bohr used the fact that atoms can absorb or release specific energies of light (spectral lines). Each spectral - line corresponds to an electron transitioning between energy levels. The alpha - particle scattering off gold foil is related to Rutherford's model, not Bohr's evidence for energy levels. The statement about atoms having a ray of energy bending toward a positive charge is not relevant to Bohr's evidence for energy levels.

Answer:

Atoms can absorb or release certain energies of light.
