Nuclear Model
Rutherford’s atomic model
which pictures the atom as
mostly empty space and its
mass is concentrated in the
nucleus, where you find the
protons and the neutrons.
This model has worked well during his
time, but it was only able to explain a few
simple properties of atoms. However, It
could not explain why metals or
compounds of metals give off
characteristic colors when heated in a
flame, or why objects–when heated to
much higher temperatures first glow to
dull red, then to yellow, and then to white.
Niels Bohr refined Rutherford’s
model of an atom. Based on his
experiments, Bohr described
the electron to be moving in
definite orbits around the
nucleus.
Electrons orbit
the nucleus in
circular paths
of fixed energy
(energy levels).
Niels Bohr
(Born in Denmark 1885-1962)
Firework effects are produced by the combustion of explosive
materials present in fireworks. These explosive materials are also
called metal salts. Metal salts emit characteristic color of light
when heated as shown in the Table
Hydrogen Emission Spectrum
Violet
Blue
Red
A glass prism separates the light given off into its
component wavelength. The spectrum produced
appears as a series of sharp bright lines with
characteristic colors and wavelength on a dark
background instead of being continuous like the
rainbow. We call this series of lines the atomic
spectrum of the element. The color, number and
position of lines produced is called the “fingerprint”
of an element.
How did Bohr explain what
you have seen in the video
and the findings about the
elements in a
spectroscope?
Electrons orbit
the nucleus in
circular paths
of fixed energy
(energy levels).
Ground state: the lowest
possible energy level an
electron be at.

Excited state: an energy

level higher than the ground
state.
The energy levels are like the rungs
of a ladder but are not equally
spaced.
The Bohr model
explained the emission
spectrum of the hydrogen
atom but did not always
explain those of other
elements.
