Why was Bohr theory accepted

Because in Bohr’s model for hydrogen atom we consider only Coulombic interactions between one proton and one electron.


It cannot be extended for other atomic species containing more than one electron. Because in this case in addition to the interaction between nucleus and electron there arises the interactions between electron and electron of the same species. Bohr couldn't solve this problem and this problems are successfully explained on the basis of later developed quantum mechanics.o
