Learning Outcomes
• Emission and absorption spectra of the hydrogen
atom .
• Balmer series in the emission spectrum as an
example.
• Line spectra as evidence for energy levels.
• Energy sub-levels.
• Viewing of emission spectra of elements using a
spectroscope or a spectrometer.
Atomic structure
Spectra
Spectrscope
In a light spectroscope,
light is focused into a thin
beam of parallel rays by a
lens, and then passed
through a prism or
diffraction grating that
separates the light into a
frequency spectrum.
Continuous Spectrum

Emission Spectra
Continuous spectrum

A Spectrum in
which all
wavelengths are
present between
certain limits.
Emission Sprectrum
Emission spectrum
Spectrum lines
When light from an unknown
source is analyzed in a
spectroscope, the different patterns
of bright lines in the spectrum
reveal which elements emitted the
light. Such a pattern is called an
emission spectrum.
Absorption spectrum
Emission Spectrum

• Shows that atoms can emit
only specific energies
(discrete wavelengths,
discrete frequencies)
hypothesis: if atoms emit only
discrete wavelengths, maybe
atoms can have only discrete
energies
1.4 atomic structure part1
1.4 atomic structure part1
A turtle sitting on a
staircase can take on only
certain discrete energies
energy is required to move the
turtle (electron) up the steps
(energy levels) (absorption)
energy is released when the
turtle (electron) moves down
the steps (energy levels)
(emission)
energy staircase diagram for
atomic hydrogen
bottom step is called the
ground state
higher steps are called
excited states
Balmer Series
• Balmer analysed the hydrogen
spectrum and found that
hydrogen emitted four bands of
light within the visible spectrum:
• Wavelength (nm) Color
• 656.2
red
• 486.1
blue
• 434.0
blue-violet
• 410.1
violet
Flame Test
• Flame Test
The following metals emit certain colours of light when their atoms
are excited.
• Metal

• Sodium (Na)
Yellow
• Lithium (Li)

• Potassium (K)

Learning Outcomes
• Energy levels in atoms.
• Organisation of particles in atoms of
elements nos. 1–20 (numbers of electrons in
each main energy level).
• Classification of the first twenty elements in
the periodic table on the basis of the number
of outer electrons.
Bohr
Bohr’s theory
• Electrons revolve around nucleus in
orbits
• Electron in orbit has a fixed amount
of energy
• Orbits called energy levels
• If electron stays in level it neither
gains nor loses energy
Bohr
• Atom absorbs energy
• Electron jumps to higher level
• Atom unstable at higher levels. Electron falls back
to a lower level
• Atom loses or emits energy of a particular
frequency.
quantisation
• Electrons can have
only certain particular
values of energy
EVIDENCE FOR ENERGY
LEVELS
• In Hydrogen electron in lowest (n=1) level;
ground state
• Energy given; electron jumps to higher
level excited state
• Falls back and emits a definite amount of
energy
• Energy appears as a line of a particular
colour
colours
• Energy emitted

depends on the
jumps
• Different jumps
emit different
amounts of energy
and hence different
colours
Main energy levels (shells)
• Spectroscopic notation for shells .
• N shell name
1=K
2=L
3=M
4=N
1.4 atomic structure part1
Bohr Diagram
Bohr Diagrams
To draw Bohr Diagrams:
1.Draw the nucleus as a solid circle.
2.Put the number of protons (atomic number) in the
nucleus with the number of neutrons (atomic mass –
atomic number) under it.
3.Place the number of electrons (same as protons) in orbits
around the nucleus by drawing circles around the nucleus.
Remember, 1st shell – 2 electrons, 2nd shell – 8 electrons,
3rd shell – 8 electrons, 4th shell – 18 electrons.

Heisenberg
• We cannot know both the position and
speed of an electron
• Therefore we cannot describe how an
electron moves in an atom
.

The "p" orbital is dumb belled shaped and each
P sub level is made of three "p" orbitals (because
the P sub level can hold 6 electrons and every
