October 23, 2009 THE BOHR MODEL OF THE ATOM
The Bohr Model of Hydrogen Atom • Light absorbed or emitted is from electrons moving between energy levels • Only certain energies are observed • Therefore, only certain energy levels exist • Energy levels are Quantized
Hydrogen Energy Levels Constant = Rhc = 2.18 x 10-18 J R = Rydberg constant = 1.0974 x 107 m-1 h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 x 10-34 Js c= velocity of light in vacuum = 3.0 x 108 m/s
Each line corresponds to a transition: Example: n=3 n = 2
Explanation of line spectra Balmer series
The emission line with the shortest wavelength is: • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5
The emission line with the longest wavelength is: • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5
The emission line with the highest energy is: • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5
The absorption line with the shortest wavelength is: • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5
The absorption line with the lowest energy is: • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5
A Revolutionary Idea: Matter Waves • All matter acts as particles and as waves. • Macroscopic objects have tiny waves- not observed. • Wave nature only becomes apparent when object is VERY light • For electrons in atoms, wave properties are important. • deBroglie Equation:
Matter waves- Examples Macroscopic object: 200 g rock travelling at 20 m/s has a wavelength: Electron inside an atom, moving at 40% of the speed of light (0.4 x 3x108m/s):
