This Model was proposed by the scientist Niel Bohr

 

As per this Model,

  1. Electrons move around Nucleus of an atom.
    But they move in discrete orbits (specific paths).
    These orbits are called energy levels or shells.


Different Energy shells are:-

K shell, L shell, M shell and N shell .

Other Name of These shells are:-

 

Shell Name

Other Name

K shell

n=1

L Shell

n=2

M Shell

n=3

N Shell

n=4

 

 

  • Each energy shells have different amount of electrons and different energy level

  • Example; K shell can hold less electrons and has less energy level than the L shell and so on.

2.Electrons keep on revolving in the same shell. 

But they do not radiate energy while revolving in these shells (there is no loss of energy ).
