CHEM 1021 Lecture Notes - Lecture 33: Schrödinger Equation, Bohr Model, Photon
Document Summary
Clicker question 1: when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, energy is: Electrons travel in specific areas around the nucleus which correspond to different energy levels: lines in atomic spectra come from electrons moving from one energy level to another, energy levels n = 1. N distance between the electron and nucleus increase, n increase, electrons increases: observe e large value (cid:374), la(cid:396)ge e value also in reverse, model could calculate wavelength of spectral lines for atomic hydrogen. The movement of electrons between two particular energy levels involves the release or absorption of a photon of light. Using his model, bohr could calculate the expected wavelengths of the spectral lines for atomic hydrogen. He won the nobel prize in 1922 for his work. However: his model could not predict the spectra for anything other than atomic hydrogen, his model also could not explain chemical bonding.
