II. Bohr Model of the Atom (p. 94 - 97) Ch. 4 - Electrons in Atoms II. Bohr Model of the Atom (p. 94 - 97) C. Johannesson
A. Line-Emission Spectrum excited state ENERGY IN PHOTON OUT ground state C. Johannesson
B. Bohr Model e- exist only in orbits with specific amounts of energy called energy levels Therefore… e- can only gain or lose certain amounts of energy only certain photons are produced C. Johannesson
B. Bohr Model 6 Energy of photon depends on the difference in energy levels Bohr’s calculated energies matched the IR, visible, and UV lines for the H atom 5 4 3 2 1 C. Johannesson
C. Other Elements Helium Each element has a unique bright-line emission spectrum. “Atomic Fingerprint” Helium Bohr’s calculations only worked for hydrogen! C. Johannesson
