Bohr Models 3

Front

What is a Bohr Model?

Back

A Bohr Model is a diagram that represents the structure of an atom, showing electrons in circular orbits around the nucleus, with each orbit corresponding to a specific energy level.

Front

What does the principal quantum number (n) represent in the Bohr Model?

Back

The principal quantum number (n) indicates the energy level of an electron in an atom, with n=1 being the closest to the nucleus and higher values indicating further orbits.

Front

How many electrons can occupy the first energy level (n=1) in a Bohr Model?

Back

The first energy level (n=1) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in the second energy level (n=2)?

Back

The second energy level (n=2) can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

Front

What is the significance of the emission spectrum in relation to the Bohr Model?

Back

The emission spectrum is significant because it demonstrates the quantized energy levels of electrons; when electrons transition between levels, they emit light at specific wavelengths.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the energy of an electron in a specific energy level in the Bohr Model?

Back

The energy of an electron in a specific energy level is given by the formula E = -13.6 eV/n², where n is the principal quantum number.

Front

What element is represented by the Bohr Model with 2 electrons in the first level and 8 in the second?

Back

The element represented is Neon (Ne), which has a total of 10 electrons.

Front

How does the Bohr Model explain the stability of electron orbits?

Back

The Bohr Model explains stability by stating that electrons occupy fixed orbits with quantized energy levels, preventing them from spiraling into the nucleus.

Front

What is the relationship between the wavelength of emitted light and the energy transition of an electron?

Back

The wavelength of emitted light is inversely proportional to the energy transition; larger energy transitions result in shorter wavelengths.

Front

What is the concept of quantization in the context of the Bohr Model?

Back

Quantization refers to the idea that electrons can only occupy specific energy levels and cannot exist in between these levels.
