This is a trick question as the Bohr model is only applicable to the hydrogen atom, a single-electron system...in fact the Bohr model forms the theoretical base for the Rydberg formula (describing spectral emission lines of hydrogen). While this model is obsolete, it is still used to explain, in a simple manner, quantum mechanics (at least it was when I took it 15 years ago).
The answer is 1. You can use Moseley's formula to calculate the energy levels.

For each energy level in any molecule there are 2 electrons in the first level, 4 in the second and 8 in the third and fourth.

In the Bohr model there were:
1st orbit: 2
2nd orbit: 8
3rd orbit: 18
4th orbit: 32
5th orbit: 32
The other answers are talking about the quantum model of the atom.

If a photon hits the electron, it absorbs that is momentum, shifting it to orbitals of diverse energies, on an identical time as nevertheless in the vecinity of the nucleus, which retains it from wandering off into the vacuum. this may well be a chemistry question, not physics.
