In attempting to describe the atom, Bohr made a set of general assumptions. Which of the following statements is NOT a result or closely aligned with those general assumptions (the assumptions might not be quantum mechanically correct)?

A. The radius of a hydrogen atom can be calculated from a certain combination of fundamental constants.
B. Electrons in the hydrogen atom transfer between quantized energy states and can exist nowhere else in the atom but in these energy states.
C. The velocity of the electron around the nucleus is the same in all orbits, although the shape of the orbit changes with higher values of n, the principal quantum number
D.Stationary states are states where the electron accelerates around the nucleus but does not emit electromagnetic radiation.


C.
The velocity of the electron is not constant according to Bohr, but instead changes with changing principal quantum number.
