Atom: A Closer Look Lesson 3

Question 1

proposed a new model for the structure of the atom in 1913

Answer 1

Niels Bohr (1885 - 1962)

Question 2

The chemical properties of an atom are based on this.

Answer 2

The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom

Question 3

According to Niels Bohr, the electrons in an atom exist only in these.

Answer 3

Energy levels (certain distances from an atom)

Question 4

The formula for finding out how many electrons an energy level can hold.

Answer 4

2n^2

Question 5

The region in space where the electron is most likely to be found.

Answer 5

Atomic orbital
