Bohr used the emission spectrum of hydrogen to support his idea that?
Each energy level corresponds to an exact amount of energy needed by the electron to orbit the nucleus. Transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level correspond to the difference in the energy needed for an electron to occupy those two energy levels. This difference creates the emission spectrum.
What determines an elements emission spectrum?
The electron energy levels.
Which principal energy level change by the electron of a hydrogen atom will cause the greatest amount of energy to be absorbed?
n=2 to n=5 , hope that helps
Emission of light from an atom occurs when the electron?
Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level
What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?
The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.
What do Each of the colored lines in hydrogen's emission spectrum corresponds with?
transition of an electron from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
According to Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom how is hydrogen's emission spectrum produced?
it is produced when an electron from a higher energy orbit drops down to a lower level of energy orbit.

What is happening within the hydrogen atom to create emission lines?
The electron in the atom becomes excited as something adds energy to it, moving it to a higher energy level. When the electron moves back to the normal energy level, called a ground state, it emits light of a given frequency.
What is second ionization energy of hydrogen?
hydrogen has only one electron so after you remove that electron you do not have any electrons left to remove so hydrogen doesn't have a 2nd ionization energy. hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron.
How do you think the lines you observed in the hydrogen emission spectrum relate to the energy of the electrons in a hudrogen atom?
For a detailed explanation on the relation between spectrum lines electron energy check out avogadro.co.uk/light/bohr/spectra.htm
Principal energy level 1 of an atom contains an electron with the lowest energy why?
level one electron contain more energy
The outer electron levels of hydrogen?
Hydrogen has only 1 electron and has only 1 energy level.
What is the number for electrons on hydrogen's first energy level?
Hydrogen's electron configuration is 1s1. It has only one electron. It is located in the first energy level.
