What features of the Bohr model of hydrogen are consistent with the later, full quantum mechanical analysis? What features of the Bohr model had to be abandoned?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The features of the Bohr model are electrons revolve around the nucleus in stable orbits without emission of radiant energy.

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Definition of Bohr Model.

Neil Bohr proposed the Bohr model of the atom in 1915. It was created by the modification of Rutherford's atomic model. The nuclear model of an atom was developed by Rutherford, who indicated that a positively charged nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.

02

Features of Bohr Model.

The features of Bohr model of hydrogen are consistent by the quantum mechanics are-

  1. If an electron jumps from the higher energy level to lower energy level, then the difference in the energy level will be emitted in the form of photon radiation.
  2. Bohr model predicts the correct energy levels of the hydrogen.

The features of the Bohr model had to be abandoned are -

  1. The electron moves in distinct circular orbits. It is replaced by the picture of a probabilistic electron cloud.
  2. The quantization rules in a hydrogen atom are more complex than those that are assumed in the Bohr model.

Review with derivation of the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom and apply this reasoning to predict the energy levels of ionized helium He+ (a helium atom with only one electron, and a nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons). What are the energies in of the ground state and the first excited state? What is the energy of a photon emitted in a transition from the first excited state to the ground state? How do these results differ from those for a hydrogen atom?

Starting from rest, a string wrapped around the edge exerts a constant force of 15Nfor0.6s (a) what is the final angular speed? (b) what is the average angular speed? (c) Through how big an angle did the wheel turn? (d) How much string come off the wheel?

Suppose that an asteroid of mass2×1021is nearly at rest outside the solar system, far beyond Pluto. It falls toward the Sun andcrashes into the Earth at theequator, coming in at angle of30°to the vertical as shown, against the direction of rotation of the Earth (Figure 11.101; not to scale). It is so large that its motion is barely affected by the atmosphere.
