How does the Bohr model contradict the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?

Options

  1. AIt contradicts by ignoring the charge of the electron.
  2. BIt contradicts by allowing circular orbits.
  3. CIt contradicts by considering both position and velocity precisely.
  4. DIt contradicts by assuming well-defined paths for electrons.

Correct answer

D. It contradicts by assuming well-defined paths for electrons.

Step-by-step solution

The Bohr model contradicts the Heisenberg uncertainty principle because it assumes well-defined paths for electrons, while the principle implies that the precise determination of both position and velocity is not possible simultaneously.
