This course contains 4 segments:
History of atomic structure
How did scientists figure out the structure of the atom, and how did they discover subatomic particles? The answer is X-ray vision (just kidding!). In this section, we will discuss some of the awesome experiments in science history that led to our modern understanding of atomic structure.
Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom
Atomic theory is not Bohr-ing! While it doesn't work for atoms with more than one electron, the Bohr model successfully predicts the emission spectrum of hydrogen.
