Definition
sphere
Term
Describe the shape of the orbital: p
Definition
dumbbell shape with 2 lobes (p for parallel axes)

Pauli Exclusion Principle
Definition
No two electrons in an atom can have an identical set of four quantum numbers
Term
How does the Pauli Exclusion Principle apply to electron spin?

Ground State
Definition
Electron is at its lowest energy level, as close to the nucleus as possible.
Term
Excited State
Definition
An electron absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level above the ground state.
Term
List the three basic postulates of the Bohr Model for the hydrogen atom.
Definition

1. e- are present only in specific energy states.

2. A quantum of energy is absorbed or emitted to change energy levels.

3. A quantum is the smallest amount of energy that can be gained or lost.

Term
Lyman, Balmer and Paschen Series
Definition

Groups of lines in the emission spectrum of hydrogen. Lyman- ultraviolet, six lines

Balmer- visible, five lines

Paschen- infra-red, four lines

Term
Quantum theory equation relating energy to frequency.
Definition
E = hƒ
Term
Quantum theory equation relating wavelength to frequency
Definition
c = ƒλ
Term
Emission Spectrum
Definition
A bright line spectrum formed when energy absorbed by an element is emitted at specific wavelengths. Each element has a unique spectrum.
Term
Absorption Spectrum
Definition
A dark-line spectrum formed when white light is passed through a vaporized element and a few specific wavelengths are absorbed.
Term
Planck's constant
Definition
h = 6.63 X 10-34 J·sec/particle
Term
Quantum
Definition
A packet of energy associated with a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.
Term
Quantum number
Definition
A number used to describe the energy levels available to an electron. Each electron in an atom has a unique set of four.
Term
Lewis Dot Structure
Definition
Consists of the atom's symbol surrounded by the same number of dots as the atom's valence. May be used for elements, compounds, or polyatomic ions.
Term
Photon
Definition
An individual packet or quantum of radiant energy of a specific wavelength.
Term
Paramagnetic
Definition
An atom or group of atoms which has magnetic properties due to unpaired electrons in its orbitals.
Term
Diamagnetic
Definition
A term indicating a substance which does not contain unpaired electrons and is therefore not attracted to a magnetic field.
Term
Spectroscope
Definition
Instrument which disperses light emitted by energized atoms and allows examination of their spectra.
