Bohr's model modifies Rutherford's atom with quantization rules.

  1. Stationary (stable) orbits: An electron revolves around the nucleus only in certain permitted circular orbits, called stationary orbits, without radiating energy — classical electromagnetic theory (which predicts continuous energy loss and spiralling-in) does not apply to these orbits.
  2. Quantization of angular momentum: Only those orbits are permitted for which the electron's orbital angular momentum is an integral multiple of h/2πh/2\pi: L=mvr=nh2π,n=1,2,3,…L = mvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi}, \qquad n=1,2,3,\dots
  3. Quantum transitions (Bohr's frequency condition): An electron can jump from one stationary orbit to another. When it jumps from a higher energy orbit E2E_2 to a lower one E1E_1, it emits a photon of energy hν=E2−E1h\nu = E_2-E_1; absorbing a photon of that same energy causes the reverse transition. …
