bohrs model could only explain the spectra of which type of atoms?
o single atoms with more than one electron
bonded atoms with more than one electron
bonded atoms with one electron
single atoms with one electron
Bohr's model is based on the hydrogen - like atoms. It assumes a single electron orbiting a nucleus. For single atoms with one electron (such as hydrogen \(H\), singly - ionized helium \(He^{+}\), doubly - ionized lithium \(Li^{2 +}\) etc.), the model can calculate the energy levels and spectral lines using the formula \(E_n=-\frac{13.6Z^{2}}{n^{2}}\text{ eV}\) (where \(Z\) is the atomic number and \(n\) is the principal quantum number). When there are more than one electron (in multi - electron atoms), the electron - electron repulsion is not considered in Bohr's model. Bonded atoms involve complex molecular orbitals and interactions that are beyond the scope of Bohr's simple atomic model which is designed for single, one - electron systems.
