- 6.32 What are the mathematical origins of quantum numbers?arrow_forwardExplain the main features of Bohrs theory. Do these features solve the difficulty alluded to in Question 7.8?arrow_forwardHow are the Bohr model and the quantum mechanical model of the hydrogen atom similar? How are they different?arrow_forward
- 6.106 When Bohr devised his model for the atom, was he using deductive or inductive reasoning? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardDefend and criticize Bohrs model. Why was it reasonable that such a model was proposed, and what evidence was there that it "works"? Why do we no longer "believe" in it?arrow_forwardLabel each of the properties of an electron as a particle property, a wave property, both, or neither. a mass, b de Broglie wavelength, c diffraction, d velocity, e momentum.arrow_forward
- Why was Bohr's theory for the hydrogen atom initially accepted, and why was it ultimately discarded?arrow_forwardHow many electrons in an atom can have the following quantum designation? (a) 1s (b) 4d, m l =0(c) n=5,l=2arrow_forwardBohr described the hydrogen atom as an electron orbiting a hydrogen nucleus. Although certain aspects of his theory are still valid, his theory agreed quantitatively with experiment only in the case of the hydrogen atom. In what way does quantum mechanics change Bohrs original picture of the hydrogen atom?arrow_forward
