Which statement describes a major drawback of the Bohr model that caused scientists to replace it?

A
It worked only for helium and larger atoms.
B
It did not identify the distance between an electron and the nucleus.
C
It contradicted the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
D
It stated that spectral lines of atoms are similar.
3

Which statement about the electron-cloud model is true?

A
It is the currently accepted atomic model.
B
It can easily be replaced by existing models.
C
It specifies the location and momentum of an electron.
D
It does not explain the formation of emission lines.
4

Which statement about Niels Bohr’s atomic model is true?

A
Higher orbits have lower energies.
B
Each orbit has a specific energy level.
C
Electrons can exist in any energy level.
D
Orbits close to the nucleus have no energy.
6

The Bohr model of the atom explained why emission spectra are discrete. It could also be used to explain the photoelectric effect. Which is a correct explanation of the photoelectric effect according to the model?

A
Electrons are emitted with more speed when brighter light strikes them.
B
Electrons need small amounts of energy to be released from an atom.
C
Electrons move between levels only if they are hit by the right frequency of light.
D
Electrons need specific amounts of energy to jump levels and be emitted.
7

Light of a certain energy shines on a metal and causes electrons to be emitted. Based on the research of Albert Einstein, what change would most likely result in stopping the emission of electrons from this metal?

A
an increase in the intensity of the light
B
a decrease in the intensity of the light
C
the use of light that has a higher frequency
D
the use of light that has a lower frequency
9

The modern-day quantum model of the atom is better than John Dalton’s model because it

A
has set electron orbits.
B
has positive and negative particles in the nucleus.
C
can be represented in one dimension.
D
answers many questions about atoms.
10

The diagram shows Niels Bohr’s model of an atom. What happens when the electron moves from the first energy level to the second energy level?

Question illustration
A
Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.
B
Energy is released, and an emission line is produced.
C
Energy is absorbed by the atom.
D
Energy is lost from the atom.
