Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table — Test

Question 3 • Chemistry

Which statement about Niels Bohr’s atomic model is true?

Answer
A
Orbits close to the nucleus have no energy.
B
Each orbit has a specific energy level.
C
Higher orbits have lower energies.
D
Electrons can exist in any energy level.

Explanation

In Bohr’s model, electrons occupy specific allowed orbits, and each orbit corresponds to a particular energy level. Orbits nearer the nucleus have lower energy, but not zero energy; electrons also cannot occupy just any energy level. Therefore, the true statement is “Each orbit has a specific energy level.”
