The Bohr Model of the Atom

 

1.) How do we define the Atomic Spectra?

2.) What did scientists in the early 20th century discover about the emission/absorption of Electromagnetic waves from specific materials?

3.) What information  does an energy level diagram provide?

4.) What are the typical energy level diagrams used in this course?

5. ) What is the common unit of energy used to describe the energy states in an atom?  How do we convert from the standard unit (Joule) to these units?

6.) From an Atomic Spectrum how can we determine the frequency of an emitted photon?

7.) How did Niels Bohr take the data from the Atomic Spectra and the work Planck and Einstein presented and create what is now known as the Bohr Model of the Atom?

8.) What is the Balmer Series?

9.) What is the Paschen Series

    10.) What is the Bohr Model of the Atom?  What does it look like?

     11.) How does the Bohr Model of the atom agree with Rutherford’s Gold Foil experiment?
