Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bohr's atomic model was replaced by the modern atomic model because of its limitations, which included :

(a) Only applicable for Hydrogen and like atoms ( He+1, Li+2 )

(b) Couldn't explain Zeeman Effect (splitting of spectral lines due external magnetic field ) and Stark Effect (splitting of spectral lines due to external electric field).

(c) Inconsistent with De-Broglie's Dual nature of matter and Heisenberg Uncertainty principal, etc.
