Question

Which of the following is incorrect? A. Niels Bohr developed a quantum model for the hydrogen atom. B. The lowest possible energy state of a molecule or atom is called its ground state. C. All matter displays both particle and wavelike characteristics. D. The emission spectrum of hydrogen contains a continuum of colors. E. Diffraction produces both constructive and destructive interference.

Answer 1

Answer: Neil Bohr model of atomic structure was a success, but it has these main short comings,

• It was for hydrogen like atoms.

• The model wasn't able to explain hydrogen spectra.

Then a noble prize winner Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger put forward his Quantum model of atom, which was successful in describing all the short comings of Bohr's Model of atom.
