Description: http://www.myspace.com/acorvettes The Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who worked in Rutherford's lab, was the first to describe orbits of fixed size and energy in which electrons are free to travel without losing energy and falling toward the nucleus. According to this model, published in 1913, electrons can only occupy or jump between fixed energy levels and cannot reside in between these levels. In addition, once in their "ground state," electrons maintain the energy they contain. This energy keeps them in perpetual motion, allowing them to resist the attractive force of the nucleus.

dajpplanet ::: Favorites Interesting. Through mere observation we effect an electrons existance. Fascinating 07-11-03 15:35:51 __________________________________________________
geodesicks ::: Favorites you probably didn't understand the last sentence that kaku said then. electrons orbit the nucleus as point-like particles alright, but its "probability of existence" forms a wave-like structure. actually, this "probability of existence" wave refracts with the electric field of the nucleus and this causes it to bend into roughly spherical (but with details on closer inspection) orbits around the nucleus. 07-10-21 18:05:22 __________________________________________________
geodesicks ::: Favorites how do you explain the photoelectric effect then? 07-10-21 18:00:36 __________________________________________________
freeomen ::: Favorites so do waves orbit the nucleus? if i apply voltage, will waves move from one atom to the other.. waves of what? how can you move waves? 07-10-12 14:04:27 __________________________________________________
