Models of the Hydrogen Atom

simulation iconIn Chemistry, you probably learned about the Bohr Model of the atom.  This model was one of the important steps toward quantum mechanics. Click on the image of the simulation, Models of the Hydrogen Atom, at the right to begin.

Inside of the simulation, select "prediction," then "Bohr." Shine white light on the atom and observe what happens.  Try different colors of monochromatic light and observe what happens.
