Pdf in the fall of 19 niels bohr formulated his atomic models at the age of 27. The exact position of the electron at any given time cannot be known. If cataclysmic event were to destroy all knowledge of science what would be the most important knowledge to pass on to future generations. Introduction to chemistry, atoms and elements importance of chemistry question. A rydberg atom is an excited atom with one or more electrons that have a very high principal quantum number, n. Rydberg atoms have a number of peculiar properties including an exaggerated response to electric and magnetic fields, long decay periods and electron wavefunctions that approximate, under some.

According to heisenbergs uncertainty principle, it is impossible to know the electrons velocity and its position simultaneously. The bohr model contains some errors, but it is important because it describes most of the accepted features of atomic theory without all of the highlevel. Powerpoint models of the atom a historical perspective. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research. Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms.
Therefore, it is impossible to obtain a photographic picture of the atom like we could of a busy street. Atomic structure refers to the structure of atom comprising of a nucleus center in which the protons positively charged and neutrons neutral are present. The higher the value of n, the farther the electron is from the nucleus, on average. Pdf 100th anniversary of bohrs model of the atom researchgate.
