Bohr's Theory | Electrons are located at specific energy levels surrounding the nucleus. |
What is not true on Bohr's theory? | Electrons moved in fixed orbits around the nucleus. |
A key in understanding the atom | Bohr Model |
Electrons have a specific amount of energy. The distance between rungs on the ladder were not consistent, they get closer together as you move higher up. | Schrodinger's Theory |
Amount of energy needed to move from one energy level to another. | Quantum |
It is also called wave mechanics. It describes the arrangement and space occupied by electrons | Quantum Theory |

What do you call the bright line that appears when atoms are heated? | Line Spectra |
Electrons in atoms are arranged in? | Discrete levels |
What happens when electron absorbs energy? | It jumps to a higher energy level |
What happens when electron emits energy? | It falls to a lower energy level |
