Which from following statements is NOT correct regarding Bohr model?
Options
- AIt failed to account for finer details of hydrogen spectrum.
- BIt is unable to explain atomic spectrum other than hydrogen.
- CIt explains Zeeman effect.
- DIt failed to explain ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.

C. It explains Zeeman effect.
Step-by-step solution
Bohr's atomic model (theory) could not explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field (Zeeman effect).
