- Characterize the Bohr model of the atom. In the Bohr model, what do we mean when we say something is quantized? How does the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom explain the hydrogen emission spectrum? Why is the Bohr model fundamentally incorrect?arrow_forwardDetermine whether each statement that follows is true or false: a Electron energies are quantized in excited states but not in the ground state. b Line spectra of the elements are experimental evidence of the quantization of electron energies. c Energy is released as an electron passes from ground state to an excited state. d The energy of an electron may be between two quantized energy levels. e The Bohr model explanation of line spectra is still thought to be correct. f The quantum mechanical model of the atom describes orbitals in which electrons travel around the nucleus. g Orbitals are regions in which there is a high probability of finding an electron. h All energy sublevels have the same number of orbitals. i The 3p orbitals of an atom are larger than its 2p orbitals but smaller than its 4p orbitals. j At a given sublevel, the maximum number of d electrons is 5. k The halogens are found in Group 7A/17 of the periodic table. l The dot structure of the alkaline earths is X, where X is the symbol of element in the family. m Stable ions formed by alkaline earth metals are isoelectronic with noble gas atoms. n Atomic numbers 23 and 45 both belong to transition elements. o Atomic number 52, 35, and 18 are arranged in order of increasing atomic size. p Atomic number 7, 16, and 35 are all nonmetals.arrow_forwardExplain electron from a quantum mechanical perspective, including a discussion of atomic radii, probabilities, and orbitals.arrow_forward

- The hydrogen atom contains only one electron, but there are several lines in its line emission spectrum (Figure 5.8). How does the Bohr theory explain this?arrow_forwardWhich statement is true of the quantum mechanical model, but not of the Bohr model? a. Electrons orbit the nucleus in simple circular orbits, just like planets orbit the Sun. b. The exact path that an electron follows within an atom cannot be specified. c. The electron is attracted to the nucleus of the atom.arrow_forwardOne bit of evidence that the quantum mechanical model is correct lies in the magnetic properties of matter. Atoms with unpaired electrons are attracted by magnetic fields and thus are said to exhibit pararamagnetism. The degree to which this effect is observed is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in the atom. Consider the ground-state electron configurations for Li, N, Ni, Te, Ba, and Hg. Which of these atoms would be expected to be paramagnetic, and how many unpaired electrons are present in each paramagnetic atom?arrow_forward
