Asked by Lweks

What was Bohr’s concept of electron orbits?
Pick ther Correct Answer

1) An electron’s path of orbit is circular or elliptical.

2) Electrons do not travel in a set path.

3) Electrons demonstrate wave-like properties.

4) An electrons’s orbit around the nucleus is variable in distance.


the answer sheet says the right answer is option .
I am confused between option 4 and 1 because 4 seems correct to me. Can anyone please explain it to me

Note that you did not spell out the correct option. You didn't finish the sentence. I copied this from Google.
"In the Bohr model of the atom, electrons travel in defined circular orbits around the nucleus. The orbits are labeled by an integer, the quantum number n. Electrons can jump from one orbit to another by emitting or absorbing energy."\
Frankly, I think both answers 1 and 4 are confusing and, in my opinion, neither reflects the Bohr model very well. Option 4 may come the closest since I don't remember Bohr saying anything about elliptical orbits (option 1).
