Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Bohr proposed an atomic model in which;

  • the electrons found in an atom can only occupy orbits for which the angular momentum is quantized, which results in discrete values of energy level.
  • the electrons in such stationary state or ground state emits no light, but
  • if an electron jumps to a lower state, it emits a photon whose energy equals the difference in energy between the two states.
