Draw the elliptical orbits proposed by Bohr-Sommerfeld model of atom for M-shell?`
Answers
Explanation:
We know that the Sommerfeld model of an atom is an extended version of Bohr’s atomic model, which was formed by Sommerfeld to explain the fine spectral line phenomenon which Bohr was not able to explain. According to him electrons move in elliptical orbits in addition to circular orbits. The elliptical shape of the orbits is due to the influence of a centrally located nucleus.
Complete Step by step answer: Sommerfeld suggested that orbits are made up of sub energy levels which are s,p,d,f .These subshells possess slightly different energies.
So, Bohr’s third orbit means that n=3 , where n is the quantum number given by Bohr which determines the energy of the electron.
Sommerfeld introduced a new quantum number called the Azimuthal Quantum (l) number which determines the orbital angular momentum of an electron.
So, we now see that: -
When n=3
l=0,1,2
