The Bohr Model And Atomic Spectra Flashcards
Can electrons move up to a higher energy level if it gets excited?
Yes
What causes the electron to get excited?
Adding energy to an electron
More energy added to an atom the farther the electron will go
How can energy be addd to an electron?
Heat or electricity
Fireworks
Electricity- neon lights
Electrons eventually have to fall back down
So where does the energy go from a high electron state to a low electron state?
The difference in energy is released from the atom in the form of a photon
What is a photon ?
Weightless particle of electromagnetic radiation
Electron radiation comes in what kind of forms
Heat
Light
Ultraviolet light
And x rays
The larger the transition the electron has from the orbital
The higher the energy the photon will have
Higher energy photons release higher energy_______
Colors
Exp purple blue green
Lower energy photons release lower ______
Red orange and yellow
Rainbows are _______ In increasing energy
Ordered
Atomic spectrum
Each transition that an element makes will correspond to a different amount of energy and a different color being released
Who discovered atomic spectrum
Noel Bohrs
What was bohrs conclusion
Electrons are not randomly situated
They are located in VERY specific locations we now call energy levels
Bohr model of the atom
Created the orbital and where the electrons is situated
What does the wave length measure ?
The color of light
