- The spectra of hydrogen and of calcium are shown in Figure 6.13. What causes the lines in these spectra? Why are the colors of the lines different? Suggest a reason for the observation that the spectrum of calcium is more complicated than the spectrum of hydrogen.arrow_forwardHow are the Bohr model and the Rutherford model of the atom similar? How are they different?arrow_forwardWhich statement is true of the quantum mechanical model, but not of the Bohr model? a. Electrons orbit the nucleus in simple circular orbits, just like planets orbit the Sun. b. The exact path that an electron follows within an atom cannot be specified. c. The electron is attracted to the nucleus of the atom.arrow_forward
- Compare the configurations below with two electrons located in p orbitals. Which would be the most stable (have the lowest energy)? Which would be the least stable? Explain your answers.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is(are) true? a. The 2s orbital in the hydrogen atom is larger than the 3s orbital also in the hydrogen atom. b. The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom has been found to be incorrect. c. The hydrogen atom has quantized energy levels. d. An orbital is the same as a Bohr orbit. e. The third energy level has three sublevels, the s, p, and d sublevels.arrow_forwardWhat is the maximum number of s orbitals found in a given electron shell? The maximum number of p orbitals? Of d orbitals? Of f orbitals?arrow_forward
