Which from following statements is NOT correct regarding Bohr model?

  • A
    It failed to account for finer details of hydrogen spectrum.
  • B
    It is unable to explain atomic spectrum other than hydrogen.
  • Correct answer
    C
    It explains Zeeman effect.
  • D
    It failed to explain ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.

Solution

Bohr's atomic model (theory) could not explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field (Zeeman effect).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
