The Bohr model
Students often get confused between Rutherford’s model and Bohr model of an atom. They interpret the postulates of both these models to be the same, which is incorrect. Rutherford’s model differs from Bohr’s model in the following ways:

Consider the electron of a Li2+ ion that undergoes a transition from a higher energy state n to its adjacent lower energy state n – 1 (e.g. n = 2→1, 3→2, 4→3, etc) and emits a photon. Suppose the emitted photon is used to strike the surface of potassium, which has a threshold frequency of 5.464 × 10^14 s–1.a) Whatisthemaximuminitialquantumnumber,n, that is required in order to emit a photon with high enough energy to generate a photocurrent from the metal surface?b) Usingthenvaluesolvedinpart(a), calculate the maximum speed of the photoelectron from potassium. If you couldn’t solve for n in part (a), use n = 3.
In the Balmer series, for the Hydrogen atom, a weak transition is observed at 397nm. the value of the same transition for the Li2+ ion would correspond to an energy value of: a) 28.1 eV, b) 122.4 eV, c) 2.5 eV, d) 13.3eV, e) 119.9 eV
For a hydrogen atom, the transition to a state of excitation energy (10.19 eV) emits a photon of wavelength 4890 A. Estimate the binding energy of the initial state.
