Q

what are the three postulates of bohrs model

A

only orbits of certain radii are permitted for the electron in a hydrogen atom
an electron in a permitted orbit is in an allowed energy state, an electron in an allowed energy state does not radiate energy and does not spiral into the nucleus
energy is emitted or absorbed by the electron only as the electron changes from one allowed energy state to another

26
Q

the lower (more negative) the energy is, the more ___ the atom is

A

stable

27
Q

the lowest energy state

A

ground state

28
Q

when the electron is in a higher-energy state

A

excited state

29
Q

the energy of the photon must ____ the difference in energy between the two states

A

equal

30
Q

when change of e (delta e) is positive, a photon must be ____ as the electron jumps to a higher energy

A

absorbed

31
Q

when change of e (delta e) is negative, a photon is ___ as the electron falls to a lower energy level

A

emitted

32
Q

what are three limitations of the bohr model

A

cannot explain the spectra of other atoms, does not explain why the negatively charged electron would not just fall into the positively charged nucleus, electron orbiting the nucleus at a fixed distance is not accurate

33
Q

what are two important ideas of the bohr model

A

electrons exist only in certain discrete energy levels (described by quantum numbers), energy is involved in the transition of an electron from one level to another

Q

who proposed that an electron moving about the nucleus of an atom behaves like a wave and has a wavelength

A

louis de broglie

35
Q

describes the wave characteristics of material particles

A

matter waves

A

wave functions

38
Q
