Atomic Structure: Bohr Model

This lecture introduces the concept of atomistic structure, focusing on the Bohr model. It covers the historical development of atomic theory, from Democritus to John Dalton, and explains the key features of the Bohr model, such as quantized energy levels and spectral lines. The lecture also discusses the limitations of the Bohr model and contrasts it with the Schrödinger model, emphasizing the transition from classical to quantum mechanics in describing atomic behavior. Furthermore, it delves into the significance of electron orbitals, isotopes, and the dual nature of electrons as particles and waves, providing a comprehensive overview of atomic structure.
