Question

which statement best describes the bohr model of the atom? a electrons can move freely between intermediate energy levels. b electrons move around the nucleus in circular orbits. c electrons emit and absorb energy at continuous wavelengths. d electrons are accommodated in lower energy levels.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Bohr model proposes that electrons move in fixed, circular orbits around the nucleus. Electrons cannot move freely between intermediate energy levels (they jump between discrete levels), they emit and absorb energy at discrete wavelengths corresponding to the energy - level differences, and while electrons tend to occupy lower energy levels, the key defining feature of the Bohr model is the circular - orbit concept.

Answer:

B. Electrons move around the nucleus in circular orbits.
