Lecture 9 Flashcards
Electro magnetic spectrum from low to high energy
Radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma
Spectral lines
Lines caused by electronic process (electrons) and not nuclear process
Rydberg equation
1/λ = R((1/nf^2) - (1/ni^2))
Emission vs absorption of photon
Emission: nf<ni
Absorption: nf>ni
Bohr model
Flat circles.
Uses Bohr orbits to describe physical motion and positions of electrons.
It fails to explain the various characteristics of atoms and atom behavior,including bonding and periodicity
Atom changes to another stationary state
By absorbing or admitting a photon
When the electron is in any orbit higher than n= 1…
The atom is in an excited state
Bohr equation
ΔE = (-2.18X10^18) * ((1/nf^2) - (1/ni^2))
1J =
= (kg * m^2) / s^2
h =
= 6.626X10^-34
Bohr constant
-2.18X10^-18
Rhydberg constant
1.09677X10^7
