Bohr's model successfully explained the

  • A. spectrum of the hydrogen atom
  • B. spectra of all multi electron atoms
  • C. structure of the nucleus
  • D. photoelectric effect

Explanation

The model predicted the wavelengths of the hydrogen lines to remarkable accuracy, which is why it was accepted despite its inconsistencies. It fails for atoms with several electrons because it ignores their mutual repulsion. The photoelectric effect was explained by Einstein using photons, a separate piece of work.
