One key limitation of Bohr's atomic model: it successfully explains the line spectrum of hydrogen (and other hydrogen-like single-electron ions such as He, Li), but it fails to explain the spectra of atoms with more than one electron, because it does not account for the electron-electron interactions/repulsions present in multi-electron atoms. (Other valid limitations include: it does not explain the relative intensities of spectral lines, the fine structure (splitting) of spectral lines, or the Zeeman/Stark effects, and it arbitr …
