Bohr's Hydrogen Model Flashcards
1
Q
Sunlight is…
A
white light
2
Q
Bohr’s Theory
A
all wavelengths of visible light are present in the emission spectra of sunlight and a heated solid
3
Q
Line spectra
A
the emission of light only at specific wavelengths
4
Q
Neils Bohr attributed
A
the emission of radiation by an energized hydrogen atom to the electron dropping from a higher-energy orbit to a lower one
5
Q
Bohr showed that the energies of the electron in a hydrogen atom are given by the equation
A
En = -2.18e-18J(1/n^2)
6
Q
When n=1
A
the lowest energy (most stable) state; ground state
7
Q
the stability of the electron decreases…
A
as n increases
8
Q
when n>1
A
excited state
9
Q
n>1 formula
A
/\E = hv = -2.18e-18
