Dear Arpit Dubey,

Bohr's theory is only applicable to Hydrogen atom & other single electron species because in case of multi-electronic species,the line emission spectra of Elements are more complex & thus are difficult to handle !

Moreover,Bohr's threory is based only on the Quantum Theory of Matter & it has some very significant disadvantages to it .

 

Hope you understood now...

All the Best & Good Luck !!
