Kinetic EnergyWhat happens to the kinetic energy of an atom when it absorbs a photon?It does nothingKinetic energy doesn’t change due to electron moleculesBlack Body RadiationIncandescence not consistent with Maxwell equations, wave theory.Most intense emission in the infrared regionLittle or no emissions in UV.E=nhvExample of question: How much energy is emitted by ___ photons at a wavelength of ____nm?Energy Level DiagramShows electron transitions (movement of electrons between energy levels) = absorption of energy = emission of energyThe Bohr Model of the H AtomBohr’s atomic model postulated the following:The H atom has only certain energy levels, which Bohr calls stationary statesEach state is associated with a fixed circular orbit of the electron around the nucleusThe higher the energy level, the farther the orbit is from the nucleusWhen the H electron is in the first orbit, the atom is in it’s lowest energy state, called the ground state.The atom does not radiate energy while in one of it’s stationary stateThe atom changes to another station state only by absorbing or emit a photonThe energy of the photon (hv) equals the difference between the energies of the two energy statesWhen the E electron is in any orbit higher than n=1, the atom is in an excited stateStrengthsAccurately predicts energy needed to remove an electron from an atomAllows scientists to begin using quantum theory to explain matter at atomic levelLimitationsDoes not account for spectra of multi-electron atomsMovement of electrons in atoms is less clearly defined than Bohr allowedApplying Bohr’s equationE=-2.Where z is the charge of the nucleus. For hydrogen Z=1 so:Practice Problem:A hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of UV light and its electron moves from the n=2 to the n=4 energy level.
