A.Bohr model diagrams: 1. Rutherford's model was inherently unstable
                                           2. Matter emits light when it's heated [ blackbody radiation ]
                                           3. Lights travels as photons
                                           4. The energy photons carry depends on their wavelength 
                                           5. Bohr based his model on the energy [ light ] emitted by different atoms
                                           6. Each atom has a specific spectra of light
                                           7. To explain this emission spectra Bohr suggested that electrons occupy
                                                shells or orbitals





B. Bohr's Theory: 1. Electrons exit in orbitals 
                               2. When they absorb energy they move to a higher orbital
                               3. As they fall from a higher orbital to a lower one they release energy as 
                                   a photon of light


SORRY FOR THE LATE POST KIDS, BUT STAY TUNED FOR WHAT'S COMING UP!!!

  1. You need to include several examples of how to draw the actual diagrams. Pick a few atoms and draw the Bohr diagrams and energy level diagrams.
