    Study Notes

    Electron Energy Levels in the Bohr Model

    Key Concepts

    • Energy levels are discrete and distinct, with electrons occupying specific energy levels around the nucleus
    • Principal quantum number (n) represents energy levels

    Characteristics of Energy Levels

    • Energy levels are quantized, having specific values
    • Energy levels are calculated using the formula: En = -13.6 eV / n^2
    • As principal quantum number (n) increases, energy level increases, and the electron moves further away from the nucleus
    • Energy levels are grouped into shells, with each shell having a specific number of electrons

    Energy Level Transitions

    • Electrons emit energy in the form of photons when moving from a higher to a lower energy level
    • Electrons absorb energy when moving from a lower to a higher energy level
    • Energy level transitions occur when an electron gains or loses energy

    Limitations of the Bohr Model

    • Fails to account for electron spin
    • Fails to account for the Zeeman effect (splitting of spectral lines in a magnetic field)
    • Fails to account for the Stark effect (splitting of spectral lines in an electric field)

    Significance of Electron Energy Levels

    • Explains the emission and absorption spectra of atoms
    • Provides a fundamental understanding of atomic structure and energy
    • Lays the foundation for more advanced models of the atom, such as the quantum mechanical model
