Label the components of the Carbon-12 nucleus diagram.
1: Protons (6), 2: Neutrons (6)
Label the components of the Bohr model diagram.
1: Nucleus, 2: Electron, 3: Electron Orbit
Briefly describe how ions are formed.
Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net electric charge. Losing electrons forms cations (positive ions), while gaining electrons forms anions (negative ions).
Describe how electrons transition between energy levels in the Bohr model.
Electrons can jump from one energy level to another by absorbing or emitting photons with energy equal to the energy difference between the levels.
Compare Cations and Anions.
Cations: Positive charge, fewer electrons than protons. | Anions: Negative charge, more electrons than protons.
What are the differences between the Bohr model and modern quantum mechanics?
Bohr Model: Simplified, historical model with fixed electron orbits. | Modern Quantum Mechanics: More complex, describes electrons in terms of probability distributions (orbitals).
