Niels Bohr (1913):

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

Bohr's model:
-electrons orbit the nucleus like planets
orbit the sun

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

-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.
