Bohr's quantization condition
Electron angular momentum is quantized as discrete values.
Allowed stationary orbits
Electrons in stable, non-radiating orbits with quantized radii and velocities.
Energy absorption — process?
Electron absorbs photon energy to move to a higher energy level.
Energy emission — process?
Electron releases photon energy when transitioning to a lower level.
Hydrogen atom model
Electron orbits nucleus in quantized circular paths with negative total energy.
Energy levels — formula?
En = -13.6 eV / n², with n as quantum number.
Spectral lines — origin?
Electron transitions between quantized energy levels emit or absorb photons.
Hydrogen-like atoms
Atoms with one electron but different nuclear charges Z, like He⁺.
Effect of Z on radius
Radius scales as r ∝ n² / Z, decreasing with higher Z.
Effect of Z on energy
Energy levels Eₙ ∝ -Z² / n², more negative with higher Z.
Excitation energy
Minimum energy to raise an electron to an excited state.
Ionization energy
Energy needed to remove an electron completely from atom.
Limitations — multi-electron atoms?
Bohr's model cannot explain multi-electron interactions and spectra.
Limitations — spectral structure?
Fails to explain fine spectral line splitting and Zeeman effect.
Assumption of orbits?
Only circular orbits; ignores elliptical orbits and wave nature.
Spectral series — example?
Lyman (n=1), Balmer (n=2), Paschen (n=3) series.
