What did Bohr do?
Energy levels in hydrogen
What did Heisenberg do?
Uncertainty principle
What did Schrodinger do?
Quantum mechanics
What did Pauli do?
Exclusive principle
Which among the following are not quantized: a) shoelaces b) cars passing through a toll plaza every day c) birds in an aviary d) flow of a river in ml/hr e) percentage of salt in a solution
D
Which of the following are quantized: a) canned soup from a grocery store b) weight of jelly beans c) elevation of a person on a ramp
A
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the electron occupies distinct energy states. In one transition between energy states, an electron moves from n= 1 to n= 2. Is energy absorbed or emitted in the process? Does the electron move closer to or further from the nucleus?
Absorbed, further
What must be done to an atom, or what must happen to an atom, before it can emit light?
It must get excited.
What experimental evidence leads us to believe that electron energy levels are quantized?
Because atoms emit certain colors.
Which atom is more apt to emit light, one in the ground state or one in the excited state? Why?
Excited because it means the atom can fall.
According to Bohr, what happened when an electron absorbs a photon?
It would get excited.
What does E= hf stand for?
E= energy (J) h= Planck’s constant, (6.63 x 10^-34) (J) f= frequency (Hz)
