Introduction to the Bohr Atomic Model
The Bohr Atomic Model is a model of the atom that was developed by Niels Bohr. The model is based on the idea that the atom is made up of a nucleus and electrons that orbit around the nucleus. The electrons are held in place by the electric force of the nucleus. The Bohr Atomic Model was able to explain the emission and absorption of light by atoms.
Postulates of the Bohr Atomic Model
The Bohr Atomic Model is a model of the atom that explains the properties of atoms based on the behavior of electrons in atoms. The model is based on the postulates that electrons travel in shells around the nucleus and that the shells are filled in order of increasing energy. The model also postulates that when an electron changes energy levels, it emits or absorbs radiation in discrete amounts.
The Hydrogen Spectrum
The hydrogen spectrum is the spectrum of light emitted by hydrogen gas. The hydrogen spectrum is composed of a series of spectral lines, each of which corresponds to a specific energy level of the hydrogen atom. The spectral lines are arranged in a specific order, and this order is used to determine the energy levels of the hydrogen atom.
Limitations of Bohr’s Atomic Model
The Bohr atomic model has several limitations.
1. It does not account for the behavior of electrons in materials other than crystals.
2. It does not account for the behavior of electrons in metals.
3. It does not account for the interactions of electrons with each other.
4. It does not account for the effects of the environment on the behavior of electrons.
