Which of the following statements are true for the Bohr model of the atom? (There could be more than one correct choice.)
A) There is no general pattern in the spacing of the shells or their energy differences.
B) As we look at higher and higher electron shells, they get farther and farther apart, but the difference in energy between them gets smaller and smaller.
C) The spacing between all the electron shells is the same.
D) As we look at higher and higher electron shells, they get closer and closer together, but the difference in energy between them gets greater and greater.
E) The energy difference between all the electron shells is the same.

The Bohr model suggests that as electrons move to higher energy levels (or shells), these levels are spaced further apart in terms of their physical location from the nucleus, but the energy difference between successive levels decreases. This is because the energy levels are quantized and the energy difference between levels becomes smaller as the quantum number increases.
