Bohr atomic model Vs. Sommerfeld model

Bohr's atomic model interpreted the electronic structure in the atom with stationary energy levels. It solved the enigma of hydrogen atomic spectra with quantized photon emissions. He observed a single spectral line for one electron transition. But, the advent of a high-power spectroscope showed a group of fine lines in the hydrogen atomic spectrum.<br>This infographic explains the difference between the Bohr and Sommerfeld models<br>For more information on this topic, kindly visit our article at;<br>https://jayamchemistrylearners.blogspot.com/2022/04/bohr-sommerfeld-model-chemistrylearners.html

  1. BOHR ATOMIC MODEL V E R S U S SOMMERFELD MODEL COMPARING THE TWO ATOMIC MODELS In Bohr's atomic model, the electron revolves around the nucleus in stationary circular orbits. In Sommerfeld extension, the path of the electron's rotation is an ellipse with a major and a minor axes of 2a & 2b lengths. Sommerfeld explained that the electron's energy depend on both principal & azimuthal quantum numbers Bohr expressed the electron's energy with the principal quantum number n. In Bohr’s atomic model, the electron's velocity is much less than the speed of the light. Hence, its motion is non- relativistic. In the Sommerfeld model, he assumed that the electron travels at nearly the speed of the light. Hence, its motion is relativistic. It didnot explain the fine structures of the hydrogen spectrum It explained the fine structures of the hydrogen spectrum Blog: https://jayamchemistrylearners.blogspot.com/
