Chap 2 Excited and ground state Bohr model

Front

What is the Bohr model of the atom?

Back

The Bohr model describes the atom as having a central nucleus surrounded by electrons that orbit in defined energy levels or shells.

Front

What is the ground state of an electron?

Back

The ground state is the lowest energy state of an electron in an atom, where it is closest to the nucleus.

Front

What is an excited state of an electron?

Back

An excited state occurs when an electron absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level or shell.

Front

How does energy absorption affect an electron's state?

Back

When an electron absorbs energy, it transitions from the ground state to an excited state.

Front

What happens to an electron's energy as it moves further from the nucleus?

Back

The energy of an electron increases as it moves further away from the nucleus.

Front

What is atomic spectra?

Back

Atomic spectra are the unique patterns of light emitted or absorbed by an element, which can be used to identify the element.

Front

Why does every element have a unique atomic spectrum?

Back

Every element has a unique atomic spectrum due to the distinct energy levels of its electrons.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as wavelength decreases, frequency increases.

Front

What type of wave has high energy?

Back

Electromagnetic waves with high frequency, such as gamma rays, have high energy.

Front

What is the significance of the quantum leap in the Bohr model?

Back

The quantum leap refers to the transition of an electron between energy levels, which involves the absorption or emission of energy.
