•explain the arrangement of electrons in discrete energy levels around the
nucleus.
•Create and label diagrams of atoms using the Bohr Model for various
elements up to atomic number 20.
•Describe how electrons can move between energy levels by absorbing or
emitting specific amounts of energy (quantum leaps).
Bohr's Model of the Atom
Niels Bohr (1913):
Proposed a revolutionary
model of the atom where
electrons orbit the nucleus in
discrete energy levels or
shells.
•Proposed a revolutionary model of the atom where electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels or shells.
Bohr's Model of the Atom
Bohr's model:
- electrons orbit the nucleus like planets
orbit the sun
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

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.

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

Niels Bohr (1913):

Rutherford's model couldn't explain why

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
