a) i) Postulates of Bohr's atomic model: • Electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific circular orbits called stationary states without radiating energy. • Electrons can only exist in orbits where their angular momentum is an integral multiple of (h)/(2), i.e., mvr = n(h)/(2), where n is a positive integer. • Energy is absorbed when an electron jumps from a lower energy orbit to a higher energy orbit, and energy is emitted when it jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit. The energy difference is given by E = E_2 - E_1 = h. ii) Shortcomings of Bohr's atomic model: •
