Question

Do we still use the Bohr model of the atom?

Answer 1

Bohr's model of atomic structure is the first systematic approach to explain atomic sturcture. To account for the different anomalies, latter on this model was replaced by quantum mechanical model where electrons are treated as wave unlike in Bohr's model where electrons are treated as particles.Although, these days quatum mechanical model is used to explain complex atomic structure prolems, for basic understanding of atoms and for basic calculations Bohr model is still used.
