BOHR MODEL OF THE ATOM
-
ATOMIC SPECTRA• Ground state: the lowest energy
state of an atom• Excited state: state in which an
atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state
• When an excited atom returns to its ground state, it gives off the energy it gained in the form of EM radiation (light)• Ex: neon signs
-
• Light is given off in very definite wavelengths• Line-emission spectrum: series of
specific wavelengths of emitted light created when the visible portion of light from excited atoms is shined through a prism
-
BOHR MODEL
Niels Bohr (1913)• Danish physicist • Proposed a model of the hydrogen atom that
linked the atom’s electron with photon emission• Electrons exist only in orbits with definite,
fixed amounts of energy called energy levels
Recall:What is a photon?
-
• While in orbit, electrons can neither gain nor lose energy• Electrons can jump from energy level to
energy level• Electrons can only gain or lose certain
amounts of energy

• Energy of photon depends on the difference in energy levels• Energy is greater when it is
farther from the nucleus• Energies of atoms are fixed &
definite quantities
-
• The emission spectrum of each element is unique• Can be used to identify unknown samples• “Atomic Fingerprint”
Bohr’s calculations only worked for hydrogen L

THE QUANTUM MODEL OF THE ATOM
-
ELECTRONS AS WAVES
• Louis de Broglie• 1924 • Applied wave-particle theory to electrons• Suggested that electrons be considered waves confined to the
space around an atomic nucleus
-
THE HEISENBERG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE
Werner Heisenberg• 1927 – German theoretical physicist• Studied finding electrons by their
interactions with photons• Result: uncertainty in trying to locate
an electron or any other particle• Heisenberg uncertainty principle:
states that it is impossible to know both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle at a given time
-
THE SCHRODINGER WAVE EQUATION
• Erwin Schrodinger• 1926 – Austrian physicist• Developed an equation that
treated electron in atoms as waves

• Solution to Schrodinger equation is known as a wave function• Gives the probability of finding
an electron at a given place around the nucleus
• Electrons do not travel in neat orbits• Orbital: 3-dimensional region
around the nucleus that indicated the probable location of an electron
-
• Quantum theory: describes mathematically the wave properties of electrons and other small particles
