The Architecture of Matter · Atomic Structure
Electron Configuration and Light
Students examine the Bohr model and the quantum mechanical model to understand how energy levels dictate light emission.
Key Questions
- 1How does the movement of electrons explain the unique spectral fingerprints of elements?
- 2What determines the probability of finding an electron in a specific region of space?
- 3How does electron arrangement influence an atom's reactivity?
