E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bohr's planetary model of the atom suggests that electrons move in fixed orbits around the nucleus with quantized angular momentum, not in continuous or smooth transitions. The energy difference between these orbits is quantized, not continuous, making statements A, B, C, and D incorrect in the context of Bohr's model.
