    The document summarizes Niels Bohr's early model of the atom, which pictured electrons orbiting the nucleus in fixed energy levels. According to this model, electrons could jump between discrete energy levels, emitting or absorbing photons of specific frequencies. While pioneering, later experiments disproved parts of Bohr's model, leading to the development of quantum mechanics and a probabilistic view of electron locations in orbitals rather than defined orbits.

    The Bohr model of the atom, like many ideas in the history of science, was at first prompted by and later partially disproved by experimentation.

    An unsatisfactory model for the hydrogen atom

    According to classical physics, light should be emitted as the electron circles the nucleus. A loss of energy would cause the electron to be drawn closer to the nucleus and eventually spiral into it.

    Quantum Mechanical Model


    Niels Bohr & Albert Einstein

    Modern atomic theory describes the electronic structure of the atom as the probability of finding electrons within certain regions of space (orbitals).

    Modern View
    The atom is mostly empty space Two regions
    Nucleus
    protons and neutrons

    Electron cloud
    region where you might find an electron
