what would happen to an atom if it behaved exactly like the bohr model?

Question

leave the link where you found this answer please

Answer 1

It probably DOES behave just as described in the Bohr model. It just doesn't go far enough.

1. Based on the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the orbit is better visualized as a 'cloud' of probability distribution of where the electron could be found if we could locate it without disturbing it.

2. Orbital lengths are constrained to be integral multiples of the electron wavefunction.

3. Electron orbits do 'decay'. An electron at a higher energy level drops (unpredictably) to a lower energy level, emitting a photon. I have my own hypothesis about how this happens. How the orbiting electron can get by without continuously emitting electromagnetic radiation is just one more quantum mystery.

Answer 2

orbiting electrons in the bohr model are constantly accelerating(changing direction) and will radiate energy from maxwells laws.

as the electrons radiate energy, they conserve angular momentum, and begin spiraling in closer and closer to the nucleus, until all its energy is radiated, and the electrons would be gone.
