Multiple Choice
Which Danish physicist proposed an atomic model that described electrons as moving in circular orbits around the nucleus?
Niels Bohr
Tycho Brahe
Stephen Hawking
Carl Sagan
3
Each electron orbit have fixed energies called energy levels
It takes a quantum of energy for an electron to move from one level to another
Lowest energy level = "Ground State"
Higher energy level = "Excited State"
4
Multiple Choice
The amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another is a _______ of energy.
atomic emission spectrum
energy level
quantum
Ground State
5
Multiple Choice
What is the lowest possible energy level that an electron can occupy?
Lower energy level
Ground State
Excited State
Depressive State
6
Multiple Choice
How does an electron get from a lower energy level to an excited state (higher energy level)?
It absorbs light
It emits light
it simply can do whatever it wants
that's how the statistics describe it
7
When an electron absorbs light (energy), it jumps to a higher energy level (an excited state). Then the electron becomes unstable and releases energy by going from an excited state to a lower state.
The light absorbed and emitted is exactly equal to the energy difference between energy levels in the atom.
8
Multiple Choice
Which of the following electronic transitions in the oxygen atom will result in light emission?
ni=1⟶nf=2
ni=1⟶nf=3
ni=3⟶nf=2
ni=2⟶nf=3
9
Multiple Choice
If the hydrogen atom emits red, blue-green, blue, and violet light, how many energy levels does it have in the visible region of the spectrum?

10
Up to two electrons can occupy the energy level (orbit) closest to the nucleus.
The second orbit can have up to 8 electrons
