Explanation An electron strikes the Molybdenum atom and ejects an electron from the K shell. Thus an electron vacancy is present in the K shell. To fill this vacancy, an electron from the upper L shell drops down. During this dropping a photon is released as x-ray. Write the expression for the energy associated with the K shell of the atom. E K = − Z 2 ( 13.6 eV ) n K 2 (I) Here, E K is the energy associated with the K shell, n K is the principle quantum number corresponding to K shell, and Z is the atomic number. Write the expression for the energy of electron when it was in the L shell. E L = − ( Z − 1 ) 13.6 eV n L 2 (II) Here, E L is the energy of electron in L shell. The energy of the photon emitted when transition of electron takes place from L shell to K shell is equal to the difference of energy of the two energy levels. Write the expression for the energy of photon released. E photon = E L − E K (III) Here, E photon is the energy of the photon released. Use expressions (I) and (II) in (III). E photon = − ( Z − 1 ) 2 13.6 eV n L 2 − ( − Z ) 2 ( 13.6 eV ) n K = ( 13

The Bohr model

Students often get confused between Rutherford’s model and Bohr model of an atom. They interpret the postulates of both these models to be the same, which is incorrect. Rutherford’s model differs from Bohr’s model in the following ways:
