Bohrs model is contradicted by__________________?
Correct answer: C. Heisenbergs uncertainty principle
- A. Plancks theory
- B. Dual nature of matter
- C. Heisenbergs uncertainty principle
- D. All of these
Explanation
Bohr's model assigns an electron a definite circular orbit, but Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that exact position and momentum cannot be known simultaneously. This directly contradicts the idea of a precisely defined orbit. Students may choose “all of these,” but Planck's quantum theory supports energy quantisation and is not itself a contradiction of Bohr's model.

About Quantum Numbers
Quantum numbers describe an electron's energy level, subshell, orbital orientation and spin. You examine the principal, azimuthal, magnetic and spin quantum numbers, their allowed values, orbital capacity and how they determine electronic configurations and distinguish electrons within an atom.
