Question

A key postulate of Bohr's Atomic Model is that electrons inside atoms are placed in:
Options
A Random, unpredictable paths.
B Discrete orbits called 'stationary orbits' with fixed energy.
Correct Answer
C A continuous cloud of probability around the nucleus.
D Orbits that continuously emit energy as electrons revolve.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Neils Bohr postulated that 'the electrons inside atoms are placed in discrete orbits called “stationary orbits”'. He further stated that 'Electrons revolve around the positively charged nucleus in a definite circular path called orbits or shell' and 'each shell has a fixed energy'.

Hint

Bohr's model introduced specific energy levels for electrons, addressing a limitation of Rutherford's model.
