Should the Bohr model predict the correct emission lines for the He+ ion ? Why or why not? Use the Bohr model to predict some of the visible emission lines of the He+ ion. Hints: see your text for the correct equation concerning the energies of the Bohr model orbits which includes the nuclear charge Z. Then calculate the wavelengths in nm corresponding to the transitions n=4→3, and n=6→4. Can either of these be observed in your
He emission spectrum?
Bohr model is valid for one electron system. Here, He+ ion is an one electron system, So, Bohr model can be used to predict the emission spectrum of this ion.
