Term
Empirical Formula
Definition
The ratios of atoms in a molecule. It looks like a molecular formula, but may be different. A compound X2Y4 would have an empirial formula of XY2.
Term
Relative Atomic Mass
Definition

The average atomic mass of all of an atom's isotopes, taking into account how common they are.

 

You will be given information about the masses of each isotope and how common it is. Make the percentages into decimals, multiply each by the mass they're talking about, and then add together to get the average.

Term
Avogadro's Number
Definition
6.02 x 10 ^23
Term
Avogadro's Law
Definition
Equal volumes of ideal gases at STP contain equal number of molecules.
Term
Ideal Gas Law
Definition
PV/T = PV/T
Term
What is the difference between a line spectrum and a continuous spectrum?
Definition

Continuous spectra contain all colors (frequencies). Line spectra only contain a few.

 

Continuous spectra are produced by liquids and gases under high pressure. Line spectra are produced under low pressure.

Term
When an energy level drops to n=3, it emits this type of wavelength.
Definition
Infrared (shortest.)
Term

When an energy level drops to n=2, it produces this type of wavelength.

 

 

Definition
Visible light (middle)
Term
Any energy level drop to n=1 emits this type of wavelength.
Definition
Ultraviolet (longest)
Term

How are the lines in the emission spectrum of hydrogen related to the energy levels of electrons? 

Definition
I don't really understand this question. Someone please enlighten me?
Term
Where are protons located in the atom?
Definition
Nucleus.
Term
Where are neutrons located in the atom?
Definition
Nucleus. You really should know this stuff.
Term

Where are electrons located in the atom?

 

Definition
The electron cloud.
Term
Compared to neutrons and protons, the size of an electron is...
Definition
very very tiny!
Term
Isotope
Definition
An atom with a different number of protons. (Carbon-13, etc.)
