In the bohr model what happens when an electron makes transitions between orbits?
The electrons can only travel in certain orbits: at a certain discrete set of distances from the nucleus with specific energies. # The electrons of an atom revolve around the nucleus in orbits. These orbits are associated with definite energies and are also called energy shells or energy levels
What is another name for the Energy levels in atoms?
The region where electrons most likely lie are called energy levels, or shells.
How are principle energy levels and energy sub levels related?
Principal energy levels are an atom's major energy levels, ranging in value from 1 to 7. Energy sublevels are contained within principal energy levels, and their number increases as the value of the principal energy level increases.
What is the number of energy levels in bismuth?
bismuth has six energy levels
How many energy levels does platinum have?
Platinum has six energy levels.
What is meant by allowed band?
It means that electrons (for example) can only occupy certain energy levels.
To say that energy levels in an atom are discrete is to say the energy levels are well defined and?
That because only certain photons are emitted, we know that only certain energy changes are occurring.
The electron travels around the nucleus in orbits called what?
They have many names. Common ones are orbitals or energy levels.
What are the levels of energy called?
In both senses also called energy state
A model that shows comparative energy levels for different feeding levels is called?
energy pyramid
What are orbitals called?
Their orbits are called energy levels.
What are quantized energy levels?
The concept of quantized energy levels, first proposed by Neils Bohr, states that electrons can only exist in certain possible energy levels, which he pictured as orbits around a nucleus since the energy of an electron is proportional to its distance from the nucleus.
What is the fixed paths of electrons called?
energy levels
How are electrons in an organized?
Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
What is meant by saying electric charge is quantized?
Without going into the detailed mathematical proof (cos it's unnecessary), the energies of electrons can only have certain specific values. If you imagine a staircase, the steps are set at certain specific heights. There are no in between steps between steps. Let these steps represent different energy levels, with the energy increasing in value as you move up from one step to the next. Well, a comparable situation exists in an atom. There are certain discrete "steps" or energy levels in an atom, and an electron can only exist at one of these levels. It cannot exist anywhere in between any of the levels. So, an electron can only have certain amounts of energy. If you stimulated an electron with some extra energy, such as an electrical charge, the electron would only be able to absorb a certain amount, or quantity, of this extra energy, and this quantity would correspond to the difference in energy between one energy level and another (although these energy levels need not be adjacent - "steps" can be missed out when the elctron jumps levels). On the atomic scale, these quantities of energy are given the name "quanta." In friendlier terms, they are called packets of energy. These packages can only come in certain defined sizes.
What are the electron found in the lower energy levels called?
You tool
How are electrons in atom organized?
Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
