What does “Bohr model” actually mean in Modern Physics, and why does it matter for NEET?

electrons occupy quantised orbits; for hydrogen E_n = −13.6/n² eV.

In simple words: electrons occupy quantised orbits; for hydrogen E_n = −13.6/n² eV. Getting Bohr model clear matters because NEET questions on Modern Physics usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.

Key point

Bohr model

Common mistake

using a positive energy for a bound electron — bound states are negative.

Memory tip

the electron is most tightly bound (most negative) in n=1.
