How to draw the model
Bohr’s Discovery
• Bohr observed the light spectrum of Hydrogen. If all of the electrons existed anywhere in the cloud, he would expect to see a Continuous Spectrum like this:
How Bohr Got This
• When Bohr observed the light spectrum for Hydrogen, he saw this:
What this meant was
• The atom was more like this:
What it means
• This Line Spectrum shows that electrons can only exist at certain levels he called Shells or Orbits.
• The electrons can jump from orbit to orbit, but can’t exist in between.
• More energy, different color, different line, different energy level.
• The more energy an electron has, the higher energy level (orbit) it goes in.
Bohr’s Atomic Theory The Bohr model was a modification of the
Rutherford model. Bohr however put the electrons in certain
circular orbits around the nucleus called shells.

Bohr’s Atomic Theory Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. Electrons orbit the nucleus in various shells. Everything else is empty space.

electrons that it can hold.

Bohr’s Atomic Theory Ex.1) Draw a Bohr model of Hydrogen-1.
Step-1 Draw a circle to represent the nucleus.
Step-2 Determine the number of protons and neutrons and place them in the nucleus.
Step-3 Draw a circle around the nucleus to represent the electron shell.

ApplicationUsing the White boards you build the following atoms:
Sodium
Neon
Boron
Aluminum
Bohr Model of Ions
• What is an Ion?– An Atom that has lost or gain one or more
electrons, giving it a charge.– The positive charge tells how many electrons
have been lost.– The negative charge tells how many electrons
have been gain.
How is charge shown?
• The charge is shown in the upper right hand corner of the Symbol.
• Examples:
– Na+ - sodium ion has a +1 charge because it lost one electron.
– O-2 – oxygen ion (known as oxide) has a -2 charge because it gained two electrons.
• The electrons are lost or gained in the outer level, either completely empting it, or filling it to eight electrons.
Application
• Using the White boards you build the following atoms:
• Potassium Ion: K+
• Nitrogen Ion (Nitride): N-3
• Bromine Ion (Bromide): Br-
• Aluminum Ion: Al3+
Electron Terms
• Ground State: All electrons are in the lowest energy level. All electrons are in their proper place.
• Excited State: One or More electrons are in a higher energy level (orbit) then they should be.
Where Bohr Fails
• In the 4th Period, electrons start going to a lower energy level. According to Bohr this shouldn’t happen.
• In the 4th Period, the first two electrons go in the 4th Level, but the next ten go in the 3rd Level, then the next six go back in the 4th Level.
• Bohr couldn’t explain this.
