Bohr Atomic Model

•An electron could only orbit the nucleus in particular circular orbits with fixed angular momentum  and energy. Under this model an electron could not spiral into the nucleus because it could not lose energy in a continuous manner.

•Electron could make instantaneous “quantum leaps” between the fixed energy levels. When this occurred, light was emitted or absorbed at a frequency proportional to the change in energy, hence the absorption and emission of light in discrete spectra.
