Bohr model describes hydrogen atom with electrons in discrete energy levels. Though superseded by quantum mechanics, it provides intuitive understanding of atomic structure.

Guia passo a passo

  1. 1Enter principal quantum number (n)
  2. 2The calculator finds electron radius, energy, and transition frequencies
  3. 3Results show orbital properties

Exemplos resolvidos

Entrada
n = 2 (first excited state)
Resultado
r = 4 × Bohr radius ≈ 212 pm, E = -3.4 eV
Relative to n=∞

Erros comuns a evitar

  • Treating electron orbits as literal paths (they're energy levels)
  • Applying Bohr model to multi-electron atoms

Perguntas frequentes

Why can't electrons radiate away and fall to nucleus?

Bohr postulated discrete energy levels with no intermediate states; electrons jump between levels, emitting specific frequencies.

Why is Bohr model incomplete?

It only works for hydrogen; it can't explain multi-electron atoms or fine structure revealed by quantum mechanics.
