  1. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom • In 1911, Rutherfords  - particle experiments were very controversial • The idea that all the positive charge of an atom was crammed into the nucleus was hard for many to accept • In 1913, Neils Bohr, a Danish physicist proposed: • That indeed all the positive charge was in the nucleus • The electrons orbited the nucleus much like planets orbit the sun continue…….

  2. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) Bohr based his model of several well known facts at the time: 1. Visible light, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, microwaves and radio waves are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum Gamma Rays X-rays Ultraviolet Radio and Infrared Microwaves Television waves continue…….

  3. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) 2. Waves can be described by the wave equation which includes velocity (c = speed of light), wavelength () and frequency () Wavelength: “ The distance between peaks of a wave “ Frequency: “ The number of wave cycles that pass a point each second. In units of cycles per second (cps) “ c =   or  = c/  continue…….

  4. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) • 3. Light from the sun (white light) appears as a continuous • spectrum of light. • Continuous “ There are no discrete, individual • Spectrum of Light: wavelengths of light but rather all • wavelengths appear, one after • the other in a continuous fashion “ • When an element (hydrogen) is placed in a container • and heated or excited electrically the light emitted • forms a line spectrum of light • Line Spectrum of Light: “ Only certain wavelengths appear • and not others “ • This light is formed when a single element is heated • or excited and gives off discrete separate lines of color continue…….

  6. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) • 4. Light has both wave and particle like properties. • Its particle like properties are made up of individual • particle-like “packets” known as photons • The energy of a photon is directly • proportional to the frequency of the light • E = h  h = Planck’s constant • 5. Physics describes mathematical relationships among • radii, speed, energy and forces when one object moves • in an orbit around another continue……. G 9.0 Electrons in Atoms, Periodic Table, Pt I

  7. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) Bohr boldly proposed that the energy possessed by an electron in a hydrogen atom and the radius of the orbit are quantized Quantized: “ Values limited to only specific values and not a continuous range of values “ The ramp is an example of a continuous situation in which any energy state is possible up the ramp Like a set of stairs, the energy states of an electron is quantized continue…….

  8. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) • Bohr proposed that the electron in the hydrogen atom has • quantized energy levels • This means that at any instant, the electron may have • one of several possible energies but at no time may • it have an energy between them Visible Series Infrared Series Ultraviolet Series continue……. 9

  9. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) • The Energy Absorption Process: • “ Light or energy excites an electron from a lower energy level • (orbits in the Bohr theory) to a higher energy level “ • Since these energy levels are “ quantized “ and hence the electron can not ever be at any intermediate level, this means that the electron simply disappears from one orbit and reappears in another • This absorption or excitation process is called a quantum leap or quantum jump Quantum Jump: “ The quantized process by which an electron moves up or down from one energy level to another “ • The electron in a hydrogen atom is usually found in the “ ground state “ continue…….

  10. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) Ground State: “ The condition when all of the electrons in an atom occupy the lowest possible energy level “ What is a good analogy for this process? A spring and two balls The electron absorbs energy in the ground state and is excited to a higher level Both the atom and the electron now have higher energy This is an energy emission process and what we observe in the hydrogen line spectrum The Excited State The Ground State continue…….

  11. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) The Excited State: “ The condition in which at least one electron in an atom is at an energy level above the ground state “ continue……. G 9.0 Electrons in Atoms, Periodic Table, Pt I

  12. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) The atomic line spectral lines result when an electron in an excited state decays back to the ground state The electron loses energy, light is emitted and the electron returns to the ground state continue…….

  13. The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom (cont) • The Bohr model works well for the hydrogen atom only • For elements larger than hydrogen the model • does not work • Never-the-less, Bohr made two huge contributions to the • development of modern atom theory • He suggested a reasonable explanation for the • atomic line spectra in terms of electron energies • He introduced the idea of quantized electron energy levels in the atom The Bohr atom lasted for about 13 years and was quickly replaced by the quantum mechanical model of the atom The Bohr model is a good starting point for understanding the quantum mechanical model of the atom continue…….

  14. The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom In 1924, Louis de Broglie, a French physicist suggested that all matter has both wave like properties and particle like properties Acceptance of the dual nature of matter and a principle called the uncertainty principle led to the development of Quantum Mechanics Uncertainty Principle: “ It is impossible to know simultaneously the exact position and momentum of an electron “ (Werner Heisenberg) Between 1925 and 1928 Erwin Schrodinger applied the principles of wave mechanics to atoms and developed the quantum mechanical model of the atom The model describes an atom that has certain allowed quantities of energy due to the wavelike motion of an electron whose exact location is impossible to know Rather than think of the electron as a particle orbiting a nucleus, now the electron is treated as a matter-wave in three dimensional space around the nucleus

  15. The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom (cont) • A series of wave functions were developed by Schrodinger • to describe the motion of the electron’s matter-wave in • terms of time and position • Each solution to what is now called the Schrodinger • equation is associated with a given wave function, also • called an atomic orbital It is not possible to know precisely where the electron • is at any moment, but it is possible to describe where • it is most probable to find the electron • An equation called the square of the wave function • describes the possibility of finding the electron anywhere • in three dimensional space For any given energy level the electron probability can be expressed by an electron density diagram that describes an orbital continue…….
