Term
Electromagnetic Radiation
Definition
For of energy which exhibits wave-like props.
Term
Wavelength
Definition
Dis. between too corresponding parts of a wave. LAMBDA
m
Term
Frequency
Definition
number of waves that pass a certain pt. in 1 sec
v
nu
Hertz
Term
Speed of EMR
Definition
Wavelength and Frequency are INVERSELY PROP. c= v times lambda
Term
c
Definition
Speed of light 3x10^8
Term
Photoelectric Effect
Definition
Emission of electrons from the surface of a metal when light is shined on it. Scientists expected to see electrons ejected regardless of the frequency of the light shined on it. BUT THEY DIDN'T :O
Term
Max Planck
Definition
Suggested objects emit energy in small, specific amounts called QUANTUM.
Term
Quantum
Definition
Minimum energy that can be gained or lost by an atom
Term
Energy and Freq.
Definition
DIRECTLY PROP.
h(planck's constant 6.626 x 10 ^34 J-s) = Energy in Joules/ v

E=hv
h=E/v
Term
ALBERT (EINSTEIN)
Definition
Introduced idea of dual nature of EMR
-Has props of both waves and particles (photons)
Term
Photons
Definition
particle of electromagetic rad with no mass and carrying a quantum of energy
little packets of energy riding on waves
Term
Einstein
Definition
Proposed that energy is absorbed by matter in WHOLE NUMBERS of Photons
- Therefore, electrons can only be ejected if struck w/ a photon with a minimun quantum of energy.. if stuck w/ less= no electrons emitted by metal.
Term
Continuous Spectrum
Definition
Continuous range of light frequencies (like a raaiiinbowww)
Scientists expected to see al colors because elctrons would be excited by any amount of energy added. BUT THEY DDIN'T :O
Term
jOHANN bALMER, lYMAN, pASCHEN
Definition
Passed electricity throught H atoms- pink
Expected to see continuous spectrum of colors when passed pink light of H through Prism. BUT NO. It separated into a series of specific bands (frequencies) known as LINE-EMISSION SPECTRUM.
Term
Ground state
Definition
lowest energy of an atom
Term
Excited state
Definition
A state of higher potential energy that an atom's ground state
Term
Niel's BOHR
Definition
Electrons circle nucleus in distinct paths= orbits
Term
Photons are emitted
Definition
when electrons drop from higher orbit to lower one
Term
Planetary Model
Definition
Bohr. Used math to predict freqs of line- emissions from H
Matched actual emissions
ONLY WORKED FOR H
Term
SPECTROSCOPY
Definition
Study of Line-spectrum
Term
Louis De Broglie's Wave Hypothesis 1924
Definition
If EMR could behave like particles, could matter behave like waves?
Proposed that electrons moving around the nucleus, could be considered like waves, rather than particles
Wavelength of an electron depends on its momentum
Wavelenth= h/mv
Term
Erwin Schrodinger's WAve Equation
Definition
Incorporated both the wavelike behavior and particle-like behavior of electrons to predict where an electron would likely be found
His equation laid the foundation for Quantum Theory- mathematically describes the wave props of electrons and other small particles.
Term
Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
Definition
It's impossible to know both the momentum and position of any particle at the same tiem
act of measuring an electron's position changes its momentum
Term
Quantum Numbers
Definition
Specify the props of an orbital and the location of it's electrons
Term
Principal Quantum number
Definition
Indicates the main energy level
as "n" increases, so does amount of energy and distance from the nucleus
Term
Angular Momentum Quantum Number
Definition
Indicates the sublevel (shape) of the orbital
Represented by a lette
sperical s
dumbbell p
clover d
flower f
Term
Magnetic Quantum Number
Definition
Indicates the orientation of the orbital
s- one direction <3
p- 3 diff directions
d- 5 diff directions
f- 7 diff orientation
Usually reped by dashed lines/ boxes in orbital diagrams
Total number of orbitals in each energy level- n^2
Term
Spin Quantum number
Definition
Indicates direction of an electrons spin
reped by arrows in orbital diagrams each orbital can hold 2 electons w/ opp spins
Term
Aufbau Principle
aka diagonal rule
Definition
Electrons are placed in the orbitals with the lowest available energy levels first
Term
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Definition
NO 2 electrons in the same orbital can have identical quantum numbers
Must have opp spin quantum numbers
Term
Hund's Rule aka Urinal Principle
Definition
Orbitals of equal energy are occupied by single electrons *w/ the same spin) before any orbital can contain 2
Term
Writing Electron Configs
Orbital Notation
Definition
Orbital reped by dashes / a box w/ orbital name written underneath
Term
Electron Configs
Definition
Number of electrons in each sublevel shown using superscript
Term
Noble Gas notation
Definition
Previous noble gas in brackets followed by unique electron-config for each element
