Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom
Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom
(p. 4 of 4)
< previous >
Bohr also theorized that each of these specific energy levels corresponded to a circular orbit. That is, something that looked like this:
Each "n" value corresponds to a circular orbit.
Modern atomic theory, however, does not support the Bohr circular orbit. It is widely accepted today that electrons do not travel in circular orbits.
Nevertheless, Bohr's conclusions regarding the energy of the hydrogen electron have stood the test of time. The following are consistent with what we know today about the electronic structure of atoms:
* Electrons can only exist in specific energy levels
* Electrons need to absorb energy to jump to higher energy levels
* Electrons emit energy when they fall to lower energy levels
