everything set up before you do audio override or do sounds for each slide and place
on each slide using audio created with iMovie...
REQUIREMENTS: explaining each part of your model (name, symbol, atomic number,
show where and how many protons, neutrons, and electrons) - Give the charges of

and share your poem/acrostic/slogan/song you created. You may also use texts with
your voice portions, and you may include video in the background if you choose.
photobooth can be used for taking still pictures of atom project...
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Have you ever wondered what
produces the different colors in a
fireworks display?
Certain compounds will produce
certain colors of light when they
are heated. Compounds
containing the element strontium
produce red light. Compounds
containing barium produce green
light.

4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
As did Rutherford's atomic model, Bohr’s atomic
model had a nucleus surrounded by a large
volume of space. In Bohr’s model, he focused on
the electrons and their arrangement.
In Bohr’s model, electrons move with constant
speed in fixed orbits around the nucleus, like
planets around a sun. Each electron in an atom
has a specific amount of energy.
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
Energy Levels
• The possible energies that electrons in an atom
can have are called energy levels.
• An electron cannot exist between energy levels.
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
An electron in an atom can move from one
energy level to another when the atom gains
or loses energy.

4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
The movement of electrons between energy
levels explains the light you see when fireworks
explode.
• Heat produced such as in fireworks is absorbed by
electrons and moves to a higher energy level.
• When those electrons move back to lower energy
levels, they release energy. Some of that energy is
released as visible light.
• Different elements emit different colors of light
because no two elements have the same set of
energy levels.
• example: FLAME TEST LAB
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Cloud Model
Bohr’s model was was correct in assigning
energy levels to electrons, but he was in correct in
saying that electrons moved in fixed orbits like
planets in a solar system.
Today, scientists use probability when trying to
predict the locations and motions of electrons in
atoms.
An electron cloud is a visual model of the most
likely locations for electrons in an atom.
The cloud is denser where the probability of
finding electrons is high.
Chapter 4
Section 1 Atomic Structure
Models of the Atom, continued
• Electrons act more like waves.
• By 1925, Bohr’s model of the atom no longer
explained electron behavior.
• A new model was proposed, in which electrons
behave more like waves on a vibrating string than
like particles.

4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Cloud Model
The electron cloud model replaced Bohr's vision
of electrons moving in predictable paths.
The electron cloud is a
visual model of the
probable locations of
electrons in an atom.
The probability of finding
an electron is higher in
the denser regions of the
cloud.
The nucleus
contains protons
and neutrons
Electron Cloud Model
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Cloud Model
The photographs below provide an analogy for an
electron cloud. When the propeller of an airplane
is at rest, you can see the location of the blades.
When the propeller is moving, you see only a blur
that is similar to a drawing of an electron cloud.

Section 1 Atomic Structure
Models of the Atom, continued
• An electron’s exact location cannot be determined.
• It is impossible to determine both the exact
location of an electron in an atom and the
electron’s speed and direction.
• The best scientists can do is calculate the chance
of finding an electron in a certain place within
an atom.

4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Cloud Model
What model do scientists use to describe
how electrons behave in atoms?
An orbital is a region of space around the
nucleus where an electron is likely to be found.
The electron cloud represents all the orbitals in
an atom.

An electron cloud is a good approximation of
how electrons behave in their orbitals.

4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Cloud Model
For an analogy to the concept of an orbital,
imagine a map of your school. Mark your exact
location with a dot once every 10 minutes over a
period of one week. The dots on your map are a
model of your “orbital.” They describe your most
likely locations.
• The places you visit the most would have the highest
concentration of dots.
• The places you visit the least would have the lowest
concentration of dots.
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Cloud Model
In the first energy level, an electron has the
least energy—the lowest energy level—has
only one orbital. Higher energy levels have
more than one orbital.

question... about
how many
electrons are
in each orbital...
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
•The maximum number of electrons in an energy level is
twice the number of orbitals.
•Each orbital can contain 2 electrons.

4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Configurations
What is the most stable configuration of
electrons in an atom?
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Configurations
An electron configuration is the arrangement of
electrons in the orbitals of an atom.
When all the electrons in an atom have the lowest
possible energies, the atom is said to be in its
ground state.
The most stable electron configuration is the
one in which the electrons are in orbitals with
the lowest possible energies.
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Configurations
A lithium atom has three electrons.
• In the ground state, two of the lithium electrons are in
the orbital of the first energy level.
• The third electron is in an orbital of the second energy
level.
• If a lithium atom absorbs enough energy, one of its
electrons can move to an orbital with a higher energy.
• This configuration is referred to as an excited state. An
excited state is less stable than the ground state.
• Eventually, the electron that was promoted to a higher
energy level loses energy, and the atom returns to the
ground state. (ex. lithium atom)
4.3 Modern Atomic Theory
Electron Configurations
The ground state of a person is
on the floor. A gymnast on a
balance beam is like an atom in
an excited state—not very
stable.
When she dismounts, the
gymnast will return to a lower,
more stable energy level.
