Bohr Model of the Atom

The Bohr Model of the atom describes electrons as moving in specific, fixed orbits or energy levels around the nucleus, similar to planets orbiting the sun. Electrons can jump between these levels by absorbing or releasing precise amounts of energy, which explains phenomena like spectral lines. This model was a significant step in understanding atomic structure, combining principles of classical physics with early quantum ideas. While more advanced models now exist, Bohr's model helps visualize how electrons are organized and how atoms interact with light.
