3. Bohr Model

4. Bohr’s model principles
Fact 1: First to theorize the idea that electrons are on fixed orbits.
Bohr said electrons are on fixed orbits also called “stationary” orbits
Each orbit has an energy amount; the smallest is located closest to the nucleus it is E1 the next Is E2 and so on…
Light is emmited when an electron jumps from a higher electron and light is absorbed when jumping from a lower orbit

5. Fact 2: The quantum theory of atomic processes was proposed by Niels Bohr in the year 1913, and was based on the atomic model proposed earlier by Rutherford.
Fact 3: Bohr's theory could explain why atoms emitted light in fixed wavelengths.

7. Fact 4: The Bohr model is no longer accepted as a valid model of the atom
Fact 5: In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom based off of quantum theory stating that energy is transferred only in well defined quantities.
