* Explain the
of Bohores Atomie
theory? & Explain Hydrogen Atomic
Spectrum?
Answers
Answer:
Niels Bohr explained the line spectrum of the hydrogen atom by assuming that the electron moved in circular orbits and that orbits with only certain radii were allowed. ... The orbit closest to the nucleus represented the ground state of the atom and was most stable; orbits farther away were higher-energy excited states.
Explanation:
Bohr tells us that the electrons in the Hydrogen atom can only occupy discrete orbits around the nucleus (not at any distance from it but at certain specific, quantized, positions or radial distances each one corresponding to an energetic state of your H atom) where they do not radiate energy.
When the electron moves from one allowed orbit to another it emits or absorbs photons of energy matching exactly the separation between the energies of the given orbits (emission/absorption spectrum).
We see these photons as lines of coloured light (the Balmer Series, for example) in emission or dark lines in absorption.
