Ok I agree , this is my last post on this topic

we no longer take the energy levels as input for the Bohr model, although Bohr himself might have done that once. What we do say, though, is that angular momentum is quantized. With this prerequisite, discrete energy levels are as well an output from the Bohr model.


Maybe I am rusty, I studied this stuff may years ago, but honestly I dont think that you are right
Both the Bohr's and the Schrödinge's model make use of the duality particle / wave but there is a huge difference
The Bohr's model lacks the equation !
it can not be an exhaustive model, more inputs are needed
The Bohr's model is , relatively speaking, quite a rough one
You even need to introduce empirical parameters taken from the Balmer equation
You can imagine laugh
Unless for Bohr's model you mean some further development which I am not aware of
The original one is not for sure what you have been talking about
It may have an hystorical interest, nothing more

Of course electrons are particles. But they're waves


In the past most of the scientists believed that electrons were really both particles and waves
Nowadays the associated "wave" must be understood just as a mathematical entity
