Which statement is true concerning Bohr's model of the atom? O The model accounted for the absorption spectra of atoms but not for the emission spectra. O The model was based on the wave properties of the electron. O The model accounted for the emission spectra of atoms, but not for the absorption spectra. O The model was generally successful for all atoms to which it was applied. O The model could account for the emission spectrum of hydrogen and for the Rydberg equation.

How are the Bohr model and the quantum mechanical model of the hydrogen atom similar? How are they different?
Characterize the Bohr model of the atom. In the Bohr model, what do we mean when we say something is quantized? How does the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom explain the hydrogen emission spectrum? Why is the Bohr model fundamentally incorrect?
Which statement is true of the quantum mechanical model, but not of the Bohr model? a. Electrons orbit the nucleus in simple circular orbits, just like planets orbit the Sun. b.
