Definition
|
|
Term
| Energy seems continuous becuase the quanta are too small to notice in the everyday world. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the photoelectric effect? |
|
Definition
The photoelectric effect: electrons ejected from the surface when light shines on the metal. Red light will not release the electrons, even if very intense. Violet light will release them very easily even though if faintly intense. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| That light consists of quanta of energy called PHOTONS. |
|
|
Term
| Energy is dependent on what of the photon, and not the number of photons? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The intensity of the light. |
|

| BOHR Model: Ground state is the? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Excited states contain which n values? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| How does the Bohr model account for the line spectrum of the hydrogen atom? (what did Bohr conclude?) |
|
Definition
| When radiation is absorbed, an electron jumps from the ground state to the excited state. |
|
|
Term
| Matter waves: De Broglie's equation predicts that...? |
|
Definition
| Particles of matter should exhibit a wavelength. |
|
|
Term
| Heisenberg proposed what principle? Explain it. |
|
Definition
| The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Proposed that the momentum and position of a moving object (such as electrons!) cannot be measured and known simultaneously. |
|
|
Term
| Electrons do not orbit the nucleus, but are located by what? (P-) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Quantum-mechanic model explains that the properties of atoms by treating the electrons as what? |
|
Definition
| Waves that have quanized energy. |
|
|
Term
| Define an ATOMIC ORBITAL. |
|
Definition
| An atomic orbital is a region around the nucleus where an atom with a given energy is likely to be found. |
|
|
Term
| What are the letters that designate orbitals, and in what order? |
|
Definition
| SPDF. After F, alphabetical. |
|
|

|
Definition
|
|

|
Definition
| S orbitals are Spherical. |
|
|
Term

|
Term
| The Pauli Exclusion Principle states what? |
|
Definition
| That each orbital in an atom holds at most 2 electrons and that they must have opposite spin. |
|

|
|
Term
|
Definition
Pauli Exclusion, Aufbau, Hund's |
|
|
Term
| Define the Aufbau principle. |
|
Definition
| Electrons are added one at a time to the lowest enery orbitals available until all of the electrons of the atom have been accounted for. |
|
|
Term
| Define the Pauli Exclusion Principle. |
|
Definition
An orbital can hold 2 electrons. To be in the same orbital, two electrons must spin in opposite directions. Electrons with opposite spins are called paired. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Electrons occupy equal-energy orbitals, so that a maximum number of unpaired electrons result. Electrons in the singly filled orbital must have parrallel spin (same direction). |
