Atomic Spectra and Bohr Model (2)
Energy of state = - C/n2 where
n = QUANTUM NUMBER, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ....
Bohr said classical view is wrong.
Need a new theory — now called QUANTUM or WAVE MECHANICS.
e- can only exist in certain discrete orbits
— called stationary states.
e- is restricted to QUANTIZED energy states.
