Question
Which of the following is/are correct postulates of Bohr's theory of the hydrogen atom? Provide written rationale.
1.The energy of an electron in an atom is quantized (i.e. only specific energy values are possible).
2. The principal quantum number (n), specifies each unique energy level.
3. An electron transition from a lower energy level to a higher energy level results in an emission of a photon of light.
Specifically, why isn't 3. true here, if that is the case. Many points will be awarded, please tap in to your knowledge and lay out some logic in your responses.
