7579880102speed of light3.00x10^8 m/s2
7579880103What is meant by electromagnetic waves are "periodic"water waves are *periodic* (patterns of peaks and troughs repeat at constant intervals)3
7579880104define wavelengthdistance between two adjacent peaks (or two troughs)4
7579880105define frequencynumber of complete wavelengths (cycles) that pass a specific point in a second5
7579880106What do all electromagnetic wave characteristics rely on.periodic oscillations in intensities of electric and magnetic fields associated with radiation6
7579880107Wavelength and frequency are ___________ relatedThey are inversely related. the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency and vise versa7
7579880108formula that describes inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency UNITS FOR EACHc = λν λ = wavelength (lambda), meters ν = frequency (nu), Hz c = light speed, m/s8
7579880109what causes the differences between different types electromagnetic radiationwavelength9

7579880115Energy equation in regards to the photoelectric effect ("energy of a photon")E = hν the energy of a single quantum equals the constant times the frequency of the radiation ν = frequency h = Plank constant15
7579880116what is the value of the Plank Constant6.63x10^-3416
7579880117plank relation (for when you want to know E but arent given frequency)This realationship works because of the energy inverse relationship of wavelength and frequency17
7579880118matter can only emit/absorb energy in whole number multiples of hν...18
7579880119Energy of a photonE = hv19
7579880120How does the photoelectric effect workphtotons striking a metal surface can transfer their energy to electrons in the metal If the photons have enough energy (work function) the electrons will overcome the attractive forces holding them in the metal. Excess energy from the photons are converted to kinetic energy of the electrons that are emitted20
7579880121What is brightness dependent onthe number of photons hitting a surface in a unit of time. Not the energy intensity of the photons21
7579880122So, is light a wave or a stream of particles?Yes. And it can act like one more than the other depending on the circumstances. Buckle up kid's we're about to science.22
7579880123define monochromaticonly emits a single wavelength (like a laser)23
7579880124define polychromaticcontains many different wavelengths (like light and most other radiation sources)24

7579880127define line specruma spectrum of radiation that only contains specific wavelengths27
7579880128the Rydberg equation28
7579880129Bohrs 3 postulates1. Electrons in an atom can only occupy certain orbits (corresponding to certain energies). 2. Electrons in permitted orbits have specific, "allowed" energies; these energies will not be radiated from the atom. 3. Energy is only absorbed or emitted in such a way as to move an electron from one "allowed" energy state to another; the energy is defined by E = hv29
7579880130will be given planks constant on the test will be given Bohr equation on the test. But still be familiar with it. what does k equal?-hcR = k All three are constants nf = final energy level ni = initial energy level k = 2.18x10^-1830

7579880133The lower the orbit of the electron the more __________ the charge of the electron is, thus the more stable the atomnegative33
7579880134define ground stateThe lowest energy state of an atom (lowest orbit possible)34
7579880135define excited stateany energy state higher than the ground state (higher orbit than the lowest possible orbit)35
7579880136define radiant energyradiation energy36
7579880137does an electron release or absorb energy when it jumps up an orbitabsorbs because energy is positive it releases energy when it jumps down an orbit37
7579880138delta E is positive when and electron jumps up and orbit or jumps down an orbit?Jumps up because it's becoming less negative so the change in energy is positive38
7579880139The sign of delta E tells whether the photon is _______ or _________ when an electron jumps from one orbit to another (up or down)absorbed or emitted39
7579880140The equation for the energy of a photon absorbed or emitted by an electron when it jumps/falls is equal toEphoton = hv = -deltaE40
7579880141Most of Bohrs model only applies to hydrogen...41
7579880142Two things that remain true about Bohrs modelElectrons only exist in discrete energy levels, and they are described by quantum numbers Energy is involved in transition of an electron between levels42
7579880143Define matter waveswave characteristics of material particles43
7579880144wavelength of matter equation de Broglie relationshiph = plank constant mv = momentum Change mass to kilograms and velocity to m/s because J has kg as it's weight (J = kgm^2/s^2)44
7579880145what comprises momentummv Mass times velocity45
7579880146The wavelength or regular size objects is so small that it is unobservable. That is not so for tiny objects (electrons)...46
7579880147uncertainty principlethe principle that says it is impossible to simultaneously determine the momentum (mass times velocity) and the position of an electron with precision; either momentum or position may be precisely measured, but not both47
7579880148define Schrodinger's wave equationan equation that incorporates both the wave and particle behaviors of electrons48
7579880149wave functionsThe result of solving schrodinger's wave equation. They describe the electrons in an atom (electron density) The results are called Orbitals49

7579880151define orbitalan area in which a electron may be found 90% of the time. Each orbital for an atom has a particular shape and energy. Orbitals are not Orbits.51
7579880152The three quantum numbers that describe orbitalsn, l, and ml ml has the subscript of l52
7579880153rules for n, l, mln - *positive integer value*.*Larger n means larger orbital* with *higher energy* and *more time spent farther from the nucleus* l - integer value from 0 to n-1. Defines shape of the orbital. letter designations for the values are s(0), p(1), d(2), f(3). After 3 is alphabetical ml - integer value from -l to l including zero. Describes orientation of the orbital in space53

7579880155names for n, l, mln = principle quantum number l = angular momentum quantum number ml = magnetic quantum number55
7579880156unoccupied vs occupied orbitalsan occupied orbital is the current orbital an electron is in (the value of n) in any given instant.56
7579880157Relationship between the quantum numbers Subshell vs orbital vs shell vs single electron57
7579880158n, l, ml relationship1. Shell with n shells has n subshells 2. Each subshell consists of specific number of orbitals 3. total number of orbitals in said shell is n^258

7579880162Degenerate orbitalsOrbitals with identical energies (same energy levels)62
7579880163As number of electrons increase repulsion between them increases. What does this cause?not all orbitals on the same energy level will be degenerate However sublevels of same level will still be63
7579880164spin quantum numbernot all electrons in the same orbital has the same energy. Spin describes an electrons magnetic field. Two electrons of opposite spins will attract each other to some degree.64

7579880167p orbitalsfor every n (1,2,3???) Size and shape is the same but the orientation is different67
7579880168Pauli Exclusion PrincipleNo two electrons in the same atom can have exactly the same energy. • Therefore, no two electrons in the same atom can have identical sets of quantum numbers. • This means that every electron in an atom must differ by at least one of the four quantum number values: n, l, ml , and ms68
7579880169orbital diagram69
7579880170Electron configurationThe way electrons are distributed in an atom is called its electron configuration. • Each component consists of - a number denoting the energy level; - a letter denoting the type of orbital; - a superscript denoting the number of electrons in those orbitals.70
7579880171Aufbau principleelectrons fill lowest energy levels first71
7579880172Hund's rulewhen filling sublevel, one electron is added to each orbital (with same spin) before 2 are added to any (opposite spin)72

7579880178define paramagnetic Substancesubstance with one ore more unpaired electrons. are attracted t magnetic fields (find by looking at electron config)78
7579880179define diamagnetic substancesubstance with only paired electrons repelled by magnetic fields (find by looking at electron config)79
7579880180anions (in regards to electron configuration)Nonmetals gain enough electrons to have config like the noble gas just past them on the periodic table (8 valence electrons)80
7579880181Cations (in regards to electron configurationelectrons are lost from outermost shell Group A ions will loose electrons to have config close to the the noble gas behind it. for group B elements (varied ion states) the concept is the same, you just have to know the charge you're dealing with (lose the electrons with the hight n value (highest shell)) if all the electrons that need dropping aren't in that highest n shell you can drop down to the next highest and take some of those81
