Modern Atomic Theory
Section 4.3
Bohr’s Model of the atom
• He focused on electrons
• Gave electrons fixed orbitals
• Arranged electrons into energy levels
Bohr’s Model of the atom
Electrons move in
orbits
Positive nucleus
Energy Levels
• If an atom gains or loses energy, the
energy of an electron can change
• Energy levels = all possible energies
electrons can have
• An electron CANNOT be between two
energy levels
This shows the energy levels of an
atom
1st Energy Level
2nd Energy Level
3rd Energy Level
Outer-most energy level = valence level
Changing Energy Levels
• If an electron GAINS energy, it can jump
UP energy levels
• If an electron LOSES energy, it can jump
DOWN energy levels
• The size of the jump determines the
amount of energy lost or gained
Evidence for Energy Levels
• How do we know when electrons jump
energy levels?
• Amount of light absorbed / released tells
the amount of energy gained / lost

Light
• When an atom gives off light, is it gaining
or losing energy?
– It is losing energy!
• When an atom gives off light, are it’s
electrons moving up or down energy
levels?
– They are moving down energy levels!
The light spectrum
Each color has a specific
amount of energy
associated with it
Electron Cloud Model
• This is our current atomic theory
• It has mostly empty space
• We can predict the PROBABILITY of
electron location
– Ex: Similar to fan blades at a specific time
Atomic Orbitals
• Orbital - region of space where electron is
likely to be found
• Each orbital can hold 2 electrons at most
Energy Levels, Orbitals, and
Electrons
• Energy Level 1:
– 1 orbital : max 2 electrons
• Energy Level 2:
– 4 orbitals : max 8 electrons
• Energy Level 3:
– 9 orbitals : max 18 electrons
• There are more, but you will learn them in
chemistry
Count the number of electrons in
each orbital
Orbital 1
Orbital 2
Orbital 3
Electron Configurations
• Arrangement of ALL electrons into orbitals
• Most stable configuration has electrons in
the lowest possible energy levels
