Q

What Expirenment Did Niels Bohr Perform To Create His Model

A

Atomic Line Spectra Experiment
- A diffraction grating can be used to separate light into its component wavelengths
- When a hot gas was used with a diffraction grating, it emitted particular lines of light (emission spectrum). When the same gas was cooled, it absorbed the same lines of light (absorption spectrum)
- Shows the electron structure of an atom is quantized and electrons can emit or absorb energy in the form of photons to move between energy levels

37
Q

Polar covalent bond

A

A covalent bond between non-identical atoms with different electronegativities, where the bonding electron is shared unequally

  • The unequal sharing gives the bond partial positive and partial negative poles
38
Q

Molecular Polarity

A

The overall distribution of electronic charge in a molecule
- Opposite Molecular Polarities, eg. CO2 cancel each other out, making the overall molecule nonpolar
