Answer
Postulates of Bohr's atomic model are as follows
- The electrons revolving around the nucleus are confined to certain fixed orbits called shells or energy levels, each of which is associated with a fixed amount of energy.
- While it is revolving around the nucleus in an orbit, an electron neither loses nor gains energy.
- An electron revolving in a particular orbit, on gaining a certain amount of energy, jumps to the next orbit and vice verse. Since each orbit is associated with a fixed amount of energy, Bohr called it an energy level.
