  ⚛️ Bohr’s Atomic Model in 59 Seconds | Doubtify JEE Shorts 📌 Question: What explains the fixed energy levels of electrons in an atom and why do atoms emit light? Bohr’s Atomic Model gives us the first quantum explanation of atomic structure! 📸 Image: 📕 Concept & Formula: Stationary Orbits: Electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed circular paths called orbits. No radiation is emitted in these orbits. Quantized Angular Momentum: m v r = n h 2 π mvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi} Where: m = mass , v = velocity , r = radius , n = orbit number (1, 2, 3…) , h = Planck's constant Energy Transitions: When an electron jumps between orbits: Δ E = E 2 − E 1 = h ν \Delta E = E_2 - E_1 = h\nu Energy is absorbed or emitted in the form of light/spectral lines Energy of Orbit: E n ∝ − 1 n 2 E_n \propto -\frac{1}{n^2} → Lower orbit → More negative energy → More stability 🔢 Example: An electron jumps from n = 3 to n = 2 , and emits energy.
