Two of Bohr's postulates: stationary non-radiating orbits, and quantised angular momentum.

Postulate 1 (stationary orbits): An electron can revolve only in certain discrete, non-radiating orbits called stationary states, in which it does not lose energy despite being accelerated.

Postulate 2 (quantisation of angular momentum): The angular momentum of the electron in a stationary orbit is an integral multiple of h/2πh/2\pi: L=mvr=nh2πL = mvr = \dfrac{nh}{2\pi}, n=1,2,3,…n = 1,2,3,\ldots
