- Each atom has a spectra of light
BOHR'S THEORY
- Electrons exist in orbitals
- When they absorb energy the move to a higher orbital
- As they fall from a higher orbital to a lower one they release energy as a photon of light

October 15th, 2010: Bohr's Model (Zac)
- Bohr (1920's) based his model on the energy (light) emitted by different atoms
- Each atom has a spectra of light
- To explain this emmission spectra, Bohr suggested that electrons occupy shells or orbitals

- Electrons exist in orbitals
- When they absorb energy the move to a higher orbital
- As they fall from a higher orbital to a lower one they release energy as a photon of light

More examples guys! In this section you should show examples of how to draw Bohr diagrams of specific atoms.
