A Question on Bohr's model of atom [duplicate]
When an electron revolves around a nucleus, It uses its energy in form of kinetic energy and so it release energy and then moves . It means that it release energy continuously, Otherwise, if it does ...

How and why do accelerating charges radiate electromagnetic radiation?
Let's consider it case by case:
Case 1: Charged particle is at rest. It has an electric field around it. No problem. That is its property.
Case 2: Charged particle started moving (it's accelerating)....

How are electrons really moving in an atom?
Niels Bohr proposed the solar system model of the atom, which is the most recognizable, and assumed electrons revolve in circular paths called orbits/energy levels. However, we know that the Bohr ...

Doesn't the Bohr's atomic model violate Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism? [duplicate]
According to Bohr's atomic model, the electrons do not radiate energy when they revolve in the predefined orbits. But according to Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, an accelerated charge produces ...

Is the electron actually a standing wave?
I studied in my physics class that de Broglie proposed that electrons are actually standing waves and that is the reason why their energy levels are quantised.
But I studied that the wave function of ...

Which direction do electrons orbit around/near the nucleus differ in aligned magnetic atoms?
Atoms can be aligned in magnets to create magnetic fields. Does that alignment give an atom a north and south pole or certain atoms have a unique electron orbitals giving an atom a north and south ...

In the hydrogen atom, why is the electron orbital spherical rather than flat like a 2D orbit plane?
In a hydrogen atom an electron is orbiting around a proton, similarly to a moon around a planet. The orbit of a moon around a planet is flat (2D) whereas the orbit of an electron around a proton is ...

Why aren't electrons waves by "default"?
I was reading "The holographic universe" by Michael Talbot and it said that most scientists believe, and there is proof of the fact that an electron is only a particle when we are observing it. Now, ...

Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom - Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom
Q.1) What is the idea of stationary orbital of electron? As it is said energy tangled with mass and vice versa how is this energy always be in the form of cloud such as s, p, d, f? From where does ...

Bohr' Atomic Model and Electrodynamics Confusion [duplicate]
In my book,it says "According to laws of electrodynamics and maxwell's equations of electromagnetism,an electron orbiting the nucleus will slowly start radiating energy and would end up crashing ...

Question about one of the problems of the Bohr model
This is probably extremely basic physics that I don't know, but I'm still going to ask:
Say in hydrogen, according to the Bohr model the electron is "really" orbiting the proton, and as a consequence ...
