Why was Bohr's theory accepted?

The Bohr model works only for hydrogen because it considers only the

interactions between one electron and the nucleus.

The Bohr model is based on the energy levels of one electron orbiting a

nucleus at various energy levels.

Any other electrons in the atom will repel the one electron and change
its energy level.

Why was Bohr's model wrong?

The main problem with Bohr's model is that it works very well for atoms with
only one electron, like H or He+, but not at all for multi-electron atoms.

Bohr's model breaks down when applied to multi-electron atoms. It does not

account for sublevels (s,p,d,f), orbitals or elecrtron spin.
Limitations of Bohr’s Model of an Atom:

•Bohr’s model of an atom failed to explain the Zeeman Effect

(effect of magnetic field on the spectra of atoms).

•It also failed to explain the Stark effect

(effect of electric field on the spectra of atoms).

•It violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

•It could not explain the spectra obtained from larger atoms.
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Formula and Application
If, ∆x is the error in position measurement and ∆p is the error in the measurement of momentum,

then
∆X  ×  ∆p  ≥  h / 4πh​
Since momentum,
p = mv, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle formula can be alternatively written as-

∆X  ×  ∆mv  ≥  h / 4πh​

 or   
∆X  ×  ∆m × ∆v  ≥  h / 4πh​

Where,
∆V is the error in the measurement of velocity and assuming mass remaining constant during the
experiment,

∆X  ×  ∆V  ≥   h / 4πmh​ .

 Quantum Numbers

The set of numbers used to describe the position and energy of the
electron in an atom are called quantum numbers.
There are four quantum numbers, namely,

 Principal quantum numbers,

 azimuthal quantum numbers,
 magnetic quantum numbers, and
 spin quantum numbers.

The values of the conserved quantities of a quantum system are given by quantum numbers.
The “n” and “l” in the (n + l) rule are the quantum numbers
used to specify the state of a given electron orbital in an
atom. 

n is the principal quantum number and is related to the size

of the orbital. 

l is the angular momentum quantum number and is related

to the shape of the orbital.
