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.

Two balls of equal radius and mass, free to roll on a horizontal plane, are separated by a distance L large compared to their radius. One ball is solid, the other hollow with a thickness small compared to its radius. They are attracted by an electric force. How far will the solid ball roll before it collides with the hollow ball?

What are the units of moment of inertia? Of angular speed ω? Of angular momentum? Of linear momentum?

A barbell is mounted on a nearly frictionless axle through its center (Figure 11.105). At this instant, there are two forces of equal magnitude applied to the system as shown, with the directions indicated, and at this instant, the angular velocity is 60 Rad/s, counterclockwise. In the next 0.001s,the angular momentum relative to the center increases by an amount 2.5 kg.meter square per second. What is the magnitude of each force? What is the net force?

A solid wood top spins at high speed on the floor, with a spin direction shown in figure 11.112

a. Using appropriately labeled diagrams, explain the direction of motion of the top (you do not need to explain the magnitude).

b. How would the motion change if the top had a higher spin rate? Explain briefly.

c. If the top were made of solid steel instead of wood, explain how this would affect the motion (for the same spin rate).

Pinocchio rides a horse on a merry-go-round turning counterclockwise as viewed from above, with his long nose always pointing forwards, in the direction of his velocity. Is Pinocchio’s translational angular momentum relative to the center of the merry-go-round zero or nonzero? In nonzero, what is its direction? Is his rational angular momentum zero or nonzero? If nonzero, what is its direction?
