Question
Explain Bohr's atomic model.
###
State three postulates of Bohr's atomic model.

Answer

Bohr combined classical and early quantum concepts and gave his theory in the form of three postulates. These are :
(i) Bohr's first postulate :
An electron in an atom could revolve in certain stable orbits without the emission of radiant energy.
According to this postulate, each atom has certain definite stable states in which it can exist, and each possible state has definite total energy. These are called the stationary states of the atom.
This contrary to the predictions of electromagnetic theory.
(ii) Bohr's second postulate :
The electron revolves around the nucleus only in those orbits for which the angular momentum is in integral multiple of $\frac{h}{2 \pi}$.
Where, $h$ is Planck's constant
$h=6.625 \times 10^{-34} J s \text {. }$
$L =\frac{n h}{2 \pi}$ Where, $n=1,2,3 \ldots$
(iii) Bohr's third postulate :
An electron makes a transition from one of its specified non-radiating orbits to another of lower energy. When it does so, a photon is emitted having energy equal to the energy difference between the initial and final states.
The frequency of the emitted photon is then given by
$h v= E _i- E _f$
Where $E _i$ and $E _f$ are the energies of the initial and final states and $E _i> E _f$

The electrical capacitance of a conductor is the measure of its ability to hold electric charge. An isolated spherical conductor of radius $R$. The charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over its entire surface. It can be assumed to be concentrated at the centre of the sphere. The potential at any point on the surface of the spherical conductor will be $\text{V}=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{\text{Q}}{\text{R}}.$
Capacitance of the spherical conductor situated in vacuum is $\text{C}=\frac{\text{Q}}{\text{V}}=\frac{\text{Q}}{\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}.\frac{\text{Q}}{\text{R}}}$ or $\text{C}=4\pi\epsilon_0\text{R}$ Clearly, the capacitance of a spherical conductor is proportional to its radius.
The radius of the spherical conductor of $1F$ capacitance is $\text{R}=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}. C$ and this radius is about $1500$ times the radius of the earth $(\sim6\times10^3\text{km}).$

Hydrogen spectrum consists of discrete bright lines in a dark background, and it is specifically known as hydrogen emission spectrum. There is one more type of hydrogen spectrum that exists where we get dark lines on the bright background, it is known as absorption spectrum. Balmer found an empirical formula by the observation of a small part of this spectrum, and it is represented by $\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\bigg(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}\bigg)$ where $n = 3, 4, 5$ For Lyman series, the emission is from first state to $n^{th}$ state, for Paschen series, it is from third state to $n^{th}$ state, for Brackett series, it is from fourth state to $n^{th}$ state and for $P$ fund series, it is from fifth state to $n^{th}$ state.

Niels Bohr introduced the atomic Hydrogen model in $1913$. He described it as a positively charged nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. In the model, electrons orbit the nucleus in atomic shells. The atom is held together by electrostatic forces between the positive nucleus and negative surroundings.

Bohr correctly proposed that the energy and radii of the orbits of electrons in atoms are quantized, with energy for transitions between orbits given by
$\triangle\text{E}=\text{h}\upsilon=\text{E}_\text{i}-\text{E}_\text{f}$ where $\triangle\text{E}$ is the change in energy between the initial and final orbits and $\text{h}\upsilon$ is the energy of an absorbed or emitted photon.
