What are the postulates of Bohr’s atomic model ?

Various postulates of Bohr’s atomic model are: 1. In an atom, the electrons revolve around the nucleus in certain definite circular paths called orbits, or shells. 2. Each shell or orbit corresponds to a definite energy. Therefore, these circular orbits are also known as energy levels or energy shells.

How do the atomic properties vary in a group ?

All elements in a group generally show the same valence. From the values given in the above table, the valence of the main group elements is either equal to the number of valence electrons or 8-number of valence electrons.
