Question illustration
A
mix of blue and green
B

What is the main difference between the Schrödinger model and the Bohr atomic model?

A
Schrödinger believed that electrons could only exist in orbits, but Bohr stated that electrons could be found anywhere in the atom.
B
Bohr believed electron orbits were circular, but Schrödinger’s equations represent complex shapes describing the probable locations of electrons.
C
The Bohr model did not explain the emission and absorption spectrum, but the energy levels described by Schrödinger explained this property.
D
Bohr believed that the electrons circle the nucleus because positive particles attract negative particles, while Schrödinger believed that an electron was a wave.

What causes the appearance of lines in an emission spectrum?

A
Light is absorbed as an electron moves to a higher energy state.
B
Light is released as an electron moves to a lower energy state.
C
An electron is released as light when it moves to a lower energy state.
D
An electron is released as light when it moves to a higher energy state.

C
neutrons.
D
neutrinos.

This image shows a stream of positively charged particles being directed at gold foil. The positively charged particles are called "alpha particles” and each one is like a nucleus without any electrons.

Question illustration
A
Alpha particles are mostly empty space, so they move in random directions, and one of these alpha particles can strike point X.
B
The gold atoms contain negative electrons, so when alpha particles strike the gold they keep moving but in various directions.
C
If an alpha particle hits the gold foil, a gold nucleus splits and a particle from it flies out at point X.
D
When the dense, positive alpha particle passes close to a positive nucleus of gold, the alpha particle repels and hits the screen at point X.

Which statement is part of Bohr's atomic model?

A
Electrons absorb or emit light when they change energy levels.
B
Electrons with the highest energy are found with orbits of the smallest radius.
C
Electrons exist as waves and clouds of probability with specific orbits and shapes.
D
Electrons orbit the nucleus in narrow ellipses, like how the planets orbit the Sun.
