Rutherford

 Discovered the Nucleus


and the Positive
Protons
 Surmised atoms are
made of mostly empty
space
 Didn’t know about the
Neutrons
 Famous Gold Foil
Experiment
Gold Foil Experiment

• Particles shot through thin sheet of gold


• Most shots went straight through
• A small amount were deflected
• Hence… The atoms must be made of mostly empty space with a
small dense nucleus
Nuclear Model
 Rutherford found that most (99%) of the alpha particles that he
shot at the gold went straight through
 From these experiments Rutherford concluded that the atom
had a dense positive core, with the rest composed of mostly
empty space with the occasional negatively charged electron

QUESTIONS
Q1. Why do you think are
there different colors
emitted?
ANSWER

Q1. Metal salts emitted


different colors because of the
absorption of heat from the
production of colored light.

Q3. How did the scientists
explain the relationship
between the colors observed
and the structure of the atom?
ANSWER

Q3. The colors observed is an


indication that definite energy
transformation occurs inside
the atom emitting light.
GUIDE
QUESTIONS
Q4. Explain how your observation
in Activity 1 relates to Bohr’s
model of the atom. You can
explain using an illustration.
ANSWER

Q4. The electrons are moving around the


nucleus in circular orbits. When an
electron absorbed extra energy from an
outside source (flame), the electron
moves to a higher orbit. Colored light is
emitted when the electron falls back to a
lower orbit.
GUIDE
QUESTIONS
Q. Which illustration below
represents the energy of the electron
as described by Bohr? Explain your
answer.
ANSWER

Q5. The energy levels (orbits) of electrons


are like steps of ladder. The lowest step of
the ladder corresponds to the lowest
energy level. A person can climb up and
down by going from step to step.
Similarly, the electrons can move from
one energy level to another by absorbing
or releasing energy.
Atomic Emission Spectra
 Set of frequencies of the electromagnetic
waves emitted by atoms of the element.
 Is characteristic of the element being
examined.
The Bohr Model of the atom

Electrons Protons and


orbiting neutrons in
around the the nucleus
nucleus
 Electrons orbit around the nucleus
in specific energy levels (ground
state)
 Electrons can absorb energy,
become excited and move to a
higher energy orbital (excited state)
 Excited electrons release energy as
photons of light in order to get back
to the ground state.
- Only certain atomic energies are possible so certain
frequencies of energy are emitted.
- Explains Hydrogen really well, but not other atoms…
Niels Bohr
 Discovered that electrons
exist in several distinct
layers or levels
 “Jimmy Neutron Model”
 Travel around nucleus like
planets travel around sun
 Electrons Orbit
 Electrons can jump between
levels with energy being
added/released
Bohr Model
 Niels Bohr proposed that electrons revolve
around the central positive nucleus (like
planets in the solar system)

negative electrons

3 positive protons
Bohr Model
 Bohr also suggested that the electrons can only
revolve in certain orbits, or at certain energy levels
(ie, the energy levels are quantized)

no energy level in between steps
