C) are spread uniformly through a large, positive mass.
D) move from one orbit to the next orbit in many small steps.
E) only make transitions between orbits of specific energies.

Question

In Bohr's model, electrons can only occupy certain orbits with specific energies, and they can transition between these orbits, but only in discrete jumps that involve the absorption or emission of a photon. This concept is fundamental to the model and explains the quantized nature of atomic energy levels.
