The Bohr Model
• Bohr’s model gave hydrogen atom energy levels
consistent with the hydrogen emission spectrum.
• Ground state – lowest possible energy state (n = 1)
• Bohr’s model is incorrect. This model only works for
hydrogen.
• Electrons do not move around the nucleus in
circular orbits.

ENERGY OF ELECTRONS
When atoms are heated, bright lines appear called
line spectra
Electrons in atoms arranged in discrete levels.
Anelectron absorbs energy to “jump” to a higher
energy level.
When an electron falls to a lower energy level,
energy is emitted.

LEARNING CHECK
Answer with
1) Energy absorbed 2) Energy emitted
3) No change in energy
A. What energy change takes place when an
electron in a hydrogen atom moves from the first

B. What energy change takes place when the
electron moves from the third shell to the second
shell?

Difficult to define precisely.
Orbital is a wave function.
Picture an orbital as a three-dimensional electron
density map.

SUBLEVELS
Within each principle energy level (n) – there are
sublevel(s).
The larger the value of ‘n’, the more sublevels you can
have.
Sublevels – named by their shape

• The periodic table is structured so that elements with the same type of valence electron configuration are
arranged in columns.
•The left-most columns include the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals. In these elements the valence s
orbitals are being filled
• On the right hand side, the right-most block of six elements are those in which the valence p
• In the middle is a block of ten columns that contain transition metals. These are elements in which d orbitals are
