Bohr Model of the Atom
Applied Quantum Theory to the Atom Energy is absorbed and emitted by
atoms in discrete amounts Electrons may only be located in specific
orbits Electrons possess definite amounts of
energy
Bohr Model Electrons arrange themselves in
specified energy orbits around nucleus
Electrons fill lower energy levels first
Arrangement of electrons equals electron configuration
Principal Energy Levels
K shell (holds 2 electrons) L shell (holds 8 electrons) M shell (holds 18 electrons) N shell (holds 36 electrons)
If electrons absorb exactly the difference between 2 orbits, they will “jump up”
This is an all or nothing proposition This jumping orbital change causes
emission spectra
