Bohr Model Of Atom Topic

Shortcut Methods and Tricks to Solve Bohr’s Model of Atom Numericals:

Radius of an electron orbit (r):

  • Formula: r = (n²/Z) × 0.529 Å

Energy of an electron orbit (E):

  • Formula: E = -13.6 eV × Z²/n²

Wavelength of emitted radiation (λ):

  • Formula: λ = (1/R) × [1/n₁² - 1/n₂²]

Ionization energy (IE):

  • Formula: IE = 13.6 eV × Z²/n²

Rydberg constant (R):

  • Formula: R = 1.0974 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

Quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms):

  • n: Principal quantum number (positive integer)
  • l: Azimuthal quantum number (0 to n-1)
  • ml: Magnetic quantum number (-l to +l)
  • ms: Spin quantum number (+1/2 or -1/2)

Electron configuration:

  • Aufbau principle: Electrons fill orbitals in the order of increasing energy.
  • Pauli exclusion principle: No two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers.
  • Hund’s rule: Electrons in the same orbital have the same spin if possible.

Atomic spectra:

  • The wavelengths of the lines in the atomic spectra can be calculated using the Rydberg formula.
  • The series of hydrogen spectrum are named after the scientists who discovered them: Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett, and Pfund.
