Goal 4

The learner will build an understanding of energy changes in chemistry.

Objective 4.01

Analyze the Bohr model in terms of electron energies in the hydrogen atom.

  • The spectrum of electromagnetic energy.
  • Emission and absorption of electromagnetic energy as electrons change energy levels.

Atomic spectra and the Bohr model
Students view continuous spectra from incandescent and fluorescent lights and line spectra of selected elements. Students relate energy to frequency of light seen in the spectra. The presence of only certain lines in atomic spectra is related to Bohr's model of the atom. In a second experiment, students determine electron energies in the hydrogen atom.
