QUESTION

What's wrong with Bohr's model of the atom?

Following are the drawbacks of Bohr's model :

  1. This theory only explains the origin of spectrum in one electron systems ( hydrogen, He+, Li+, Be+,etc) but not the origin of spectrum in multi-electron systems like He , Li, Be,etc.

  2. Bohr suggested circular orbits of electrons around the nucleus of hydrogen atom, but researches have shown that motion of electron is not in a single plane., but it takes place in three dimensional space. Actually, the atomic model is not flat.

This is bohr's model:

But in actual the atomic model is like this :

3- Bohr's model does not explain Zeeman or Stark effect.
