Question

A central postulate of Bohr's Atomic Model is that electrons:
Options
A Are embedded in a positively charged sphere.
B Can occupy any orbit around the nucleus, continuously losing energy.
C Revolve around the nucleus in discrete, stationary orbits, each with a fixed energy.
Correct Answer
D Are found in a dense, positively charged nucleus.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text explicitly states: 'Electrons inside atoms are placed in discrete orbits called “stationary orbits”. Electrons revolve around the positively charged nucleus in a definite circular path called orbits or shell. A small nucleus surrounded by negative electrons moving around the nucleus in orbits. Electrons move in fixed orbitals shells not anywhere in between; each shell has a fixed energy.'

Hint

Bohr's model introduced the idea of quantization of electron orbits and energy.
