Sorry, been a while since high school. Can someone please explain why this model is incorrect, and why they teach it in high school if it’s incorrect?
In: Chemistry
The Bohr model is taught in school for the same reason Newton’s laws are taught instead of Einstein’s. Sure, they’re inaccurate, and paint a woefully incomplete picture of the world we live in, but, crucially, they’re easy to understand and fulfill their purpose neatly.
