What is the difference between an orbit in the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom and an orbital in the quantum mechanical model

Chemistry

adelina 88 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In Bohr's theory, electrons are found in specific regions in space called orbits. These orbits are also called energy levels. An electron may move from one energy level to another by absorbing or emitting energy.

In the wave mechanical model, electrons are not found in a particular region in space according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

We rather define a certain region in space where there is a high probability of locating the electron. This region in space where there is a high probability of locating the electron is called an orbital.

Hence, in the Bohr's model of the atom,electrons can surely be found in orbits while in the wave mechanical model, the orbital is a probability function that describes a region in space where an electron may be found.

Determine the number of molecules in a 100. gram sample of CCl4
enyata [817]
100. g CCl4* (1 mol CCl4/ 153.8 g CCl4)* (6.02*10^23 CCl4 molecules/ 1 mol CCl4)= 3.91*10^23 CCl4 molecules.
(Note that the units cancel out so you get the answer)

Which metal is most likely to form more than one kind of positively charged ion
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Nickel (Ni) is most likely to form more than one kind of positively charged ion as it is a transition metal and all of the ther metals have a fixed ion charge.

Na becomes Na+

Ba becomes Ba +2

Mg becomes Mg+2
