Study Notes
Bohr Model of the Atom
- The Bohr model explains the line spectrum of hydrogen.
- In this model, the electron can only exist in certain, specific orbits.
- The electron's energy is quantized.
- The allowed orbits have angular momentum values of nh/2Ï€, where n is an integer.
- The energy of an electron is related to its orbit number (n).
- Higher energy level states are excited states.
- Electrons can transition between energy levels by absorbing or emitting photons.
- The greater the fall the greater the energy released.
Energy Transitions and Wavelengths
- Electrons transition between energy levels by emitting or absorbing photons of specific energy and wavelengths.
- Lyman series: Electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region (n=1)
- Balmer series: Electromagnetic radiation in the visible and ultraviolet regions (n=2)
- Paschen series: Electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region (n=3)
- Brackett series: Electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region (n=4)
- Pfund series: Electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region (n=5)
Specific Wavelength Values
- Lyman series: 91.2 nm, 97.3 nm, 102.6 nm, 121.6 nm
- Balmer series: 364.8 nm, 410.2 nm, 434.1 nm, 486.1 nm, 656.3 nm
- Paschen series: 820.8 nm
Bohr Model Limitations
- The model fails to explain the spectra of atoms more complex than hydrogen.
- The model does not give information on electron distribution within atoms, or relative intensity of spectral lines.
- It fails to predict the fine structure of spectral lines.
- The Bohr model doesn't explain selection rules for transition, or the rates of transitions.
- The model ignores the effects of electric and magnetic fields (Stark and Zeeman effects).
Extensions of the Bohr Model
- Finite nuclear mass: The nucleus and electron rotate around a common center of mass.
- Elliptical orbits (Bohr-Sommerfeld model): Electrons can follow elliptical orbits.
Reduced Mass
- The reduced mass (µ) is used in calculations involving the nucleus-electron system's mass.
- Â The reduced mass is used when calculating isotope shifts, which occur because different isotopes of the same atomic species have differing reduced masses.
Hydrogen-Like Atoms
- The Bohr model can be applied to any atom with a single electron ( H and singly-ionized Helium).
- The formula must be modified for other atoms with more than one electron, because quantum mechanics is necessary if you want to describe multielectron systems.
