Question

Which of the following statements about the Bohr atom are true? Choose all that are correct

1. The potential energy of an electron in a Bohr atom decreases as principal quantum number, n, increases

2. Electrons cannot jump between orbits in the Bohr model of the atom

3. Electrons in the Bohr atom exist in circular orbits

4. Electrons are quantized in terms of energy in the Bohr atom

5. The electron orbits are labeled with a principal quantum number

6. The electron closest to the nucleus exists in the principal quantum number n = 0 orbit

7. Electrons in the Bohr atom exist in quantized orbits

8. The size of an orbital increases with increasing principal quantum number, n

9. Electrons move from a low n orbit to a higher n orbit following absorption of light

10. The electron orbits start near the nucleus with n = 1 and increase in size from n = 2, n = 3 and so on

True statements: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
