Q

Danish physicist who offered a theoretical explanation of the line spectra.

A

Niels Bohr

51
Q

TRUE or FALSE
Not all radiation sources produce a continuous spectrum

A

TRUE

52
Q

Recite the 3 Bohr postulates

A
  1. Only orbits of certain radii, corresponding to certain specific energies, are permitted for the electron in a hydrogen atom.
  2. An electron in a permitted orbit is in an “allowed” energy state. An electron in an allowed energy state does not radiate energy and, therefore, does not spiral into the nucleus.
  3. Energy is emitted or absorbed by the electron only as the electron changes from one allowed energy state to another. This energy is emitted or absorbed as a photon that has energy E = hv.
53
Q

Explain the FIRST postulate of Bohr’s Model

A

Only certain special orbits called discrete orbits of electrons are allowed inside the atom.

54
Q
