Used hydrogen as the simplest atom. Hydrogen Atom Hydrogen atom is quantized. The electron in the atom only has certain energy levels available to it. Draw a picture representing the hydrogen atom, showing the nucleus, the electron, and the electronic energy levels. When atoms are placed in high energy environments, electron is excited to a higher energy level.
Emitted energy is difference between the two energy levels.
Because only electrons can occupy only certain energy levels, only certain spectral lines are seen. Bohr's Model Similar to solar system. Each orbit assigned an integer, n, known as principle quantum number. Spectral lines result from movement of atom's electron from an excited state to ground state. Draw a diagram illustrating the relationship between energy levels and spectral lines.
