Lesson 2-3 Atomic Emission Spectra and Bohr Model
Lesson 2-3 Atomic Emission Spectra and Bohr Model
Learning Objectives
• Develop and use Bohr models for atoms, illustrating electron energy levels
and the placement of electrons within those levels.
• Use the Bohr model to explain why elements have unique atomic emission
spectra.
• Relate the spectra of elements to the structure of their atoms, particularly
the patterns of electrons and changes in their energy.
Atomic Emission Spectra
Properties of Light
• The Wave Description of Light
• Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that exhibits wavelike
behavior as it travels through space.
• Frequency (ν) is defined as the number of waves that pass a given point in a
specific time, usually one second.
