Bohr Theory

Bohr's Theory is based on an early model of atom where electrons travel round the nucleus in a discrete stable numbers of orbit determined by Quantum conditions. This is an extension of Rutherford Model of atom.

1. Bohr's Model of the Atom

2. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Niels Bohr (1913):

3. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Niels Bohr (1913):
-studied the light produced when atoms
were excited by heat or electricity

4. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Niels Bohr (1913):
-studied the light produced when atoms
were excited by heat or electricity

5. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Niels Bohr (1913):
-studied the light produced when atoms
were excited by heat or electricity
Rutherford's model couldn't explain why
unique colours were obtained by atoms of
different elements

6. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Niels Bohr (1913):
-studied the light produced when atoms
were excited by heat or electricity
Rutherford's model couldn't explain why
unique colours were obtained by atoms of
different elements
Bohr proposed that electrons are in orbits &
when excited jump to a higher orbit. When
they fall back to the original they give off light

7. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Bohr's model:
-electrons orbit the nucleus like planets
orbit the sun

8. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Bohr's model:
-electrons orbit the nucleus like planets
orbit the sun
-each orbit can hold a specific maximum
number of electrons

9. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Bohr's model:
-electrons orbit the nucleus like planets
orbit the sun
-each orbit can hold a specific maximum
number of electrons
orbit maximum #
electrons
1 2
2 8
3 8
4 18

10. Bohr's Model of the Atom
Bohr's model:
-electrons orbit the nucleus like planets
orbit the sun
-each orbit can hold a specific maximum
number of electrons
-electrons fill orbits closest to the nucleus
first.
