Niels Bohr (1913):
-studied the light produced when atoms
were excited by heat or electricity

Niels Bohr (1913):
-studied the light produced when atoms

Rutherford's model couldn't explain why
unique colours were obtained by atoms of
different elements

Bohr proposed that electrons are in orbits &
when excited jump to a higher orbit. When
they fall back to the original they give off light

Bohr's Model of the Atom

Bohr's model:
-electrons orbit the nucleus like planets
orbit the sun

Bohr's Model of the Atom

Bohr's model:
-electrons orbit the nucleus like planets
orbit the sun
-each orbit can hold a specific maximum
number of electrons

-electrons fill orbits closest to the nucleus
first.
