The negative
charge is in

Problems with the Rutherford
Model
• Why don’t electrons crash into nucleus?
• How are electrons arranged?
• Why do different elements exhibit
different chemical behavior?
Bohr Model
• Bohr - electrons in atom can have only specific
amounts of energy
NEW idea!
• Each specific energy is associated with specific
orbit
– --electrons are restricted to these orbits
Bohr assigned quantum number (n) to each
orbit
the smallest orbit (n= 1)
is closest to nucleus
has lowest energy
larger the orbit, more energy it has
Highest energy
(least stable)
n=3
n=2
n=1
Lowest energy
(most stable)

energy levels get closer
together the farther away
they are from nucleus
Larger orbits can hold more electrons
Electron Transitions
• EXCITED STATE:
• If electron gains (absorbs) specific
amount of energy it can be excited
to higher energy level (farther from
nucleus – less stable)
Endothermic process
GROUND STATE:
Energy released when electron:
drops to lower orbit (closer to
nucleus – more stable)
Exothermic process
Ground State vs. Excited State
• Ground state:
– Lowest energy state of atom
– electrons in lowest possible energy levels
• Configurations in Reference Tables are ground state
• Excited state:
– Many possible excited states for each atom
– One or more electrons excited to higher energy
