QUANTUM SNARK

The Bohr model explains electron orbits around the nucleus. Simple, elegant, historically useful.

✓ TRUE FACT

Bohr’s model quantized electron energy levels and explained hydrogen spectra well. Modern quantum mechanics replaces literal “orbits” with probability orbitals, but Bohr’s quantization idea remains foundational.
