Questions and Answers

What is the Bohr model of the atom based on?

Quantum theory

In the Bohr model of the atom, where can electrons move?

Specific orbits around the nucleus

What happens when an electron gains more energy in the Bohr model?

It could move farther from the nucleus

What analogy is used to describe the movement of electrons in the Bohr model?

Ball-staircase analogy Signup and view all the answers

What is the term used for the movement of an electron from one energy level to another?

Transition Signup and view all the answers

What is the main problem with the Rutherford model of the atom?

According to the Rutherford model, an orbiting electron should continuously emit electromagnetic radiation and lose energy, causing it to collapse towards the nucleus. Signup and view all the answers

Spectroscopy is the technique used for analyzing spectra. Signup and view all the answers

What happens when hydrogen gas is exposed to a spark in terms of atomic structure?

Hydrogen gas exposed to a spark causes H atoms to absorb energy, electrons to get excited, and excited H atoms to release energy in the form of light of various wavelengths. Signup and view all the answers

What is an emission spectrum, and how does it relate to atomic structure?

An emission spectrum is the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by an atom. It relates to atomic structure by revealing the discrete energy levels at which electrons can exist. Signup and view all the answers

What is the significance of hydrogen's line spectrum in understanding atomic structure?

Hydrogen's line spectrum shows that the electron of a hydrogen atom can only exist at discrete energy levels. Signup and view all the answers
