Describe the electromagnetic spectrum

Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, Xrays, Gamma rays

What has the shortest wavelength and highest energy? What has the longest wavelength and lowest energy?

1. Gamma rays 2. Radio waves

When an electron switches energy levels to a higher orbital, is it releasing or absorbing energy?

absorbing

When an electron falls down to a lower state, does it release or absorb energy?

releases

produced by an atom in an excited energy state

emission line

a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

electromagnetic radiation

all the forms of electromagnetic radiation

electromagnetic spectrum

the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves

wavelength

the number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time, usually one second

frequency

refers to the emission of electrons from a mater when light shines on the metal

photoelectric effect

the minimum quantity of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom

quantum

the lowest energy state of an atom is its

ground state

a state in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state is an

exited state

When a narrow beam of emitted light was shined through a prism, it was separated into four specific colors of the visible spectrum. The four bands of light were part of what is known as hydrogen's ______.

emission-line spectrum

a continuous range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation

continuous spectrum

Compare and contrast the continuous spectrum and the emission-line spectrum.

The continuous spectrum is a continuous bright region with all the wavelengths of the selected region present.


An emission spectrum has only bright lines in a wide dark region corresponding to the photons absorbed and emitted by the electrons.

occurs when matter emits electrons upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation, such as photons of light

photoelectric effect

Describe the Bohr model of the atom and the quantum mechanical model of the atom- compareand contrast the two models.

In one model, the diffraction pattern produced by a beam of electrons passed through a substance. In the second model, diffraction pattern for a beam of visible light passed through a tiny aperture.


First model - light more spread out and blurred together


Second model - light in rings more separated by dark color

states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle

Heisenberg uncertainty principle

describes mathematically the wave properties of electrons and other very small particles

quantum theory

a three-dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron

orbital

specify the properties of atomic orbitals and the properties of electrons in orbitals

quantum numbers

indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron, symbolized by n

principal quantum number

indicates the shape of the orbital, symbolized by l

angular momentum quantum number

indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus, symbolized by m

magnetic quantum number

has only two values (+1/2,-1/2) which indicate the two fundamental spin states of an electron in an orbital

spin quantum number

the arrangement of electrons in an atom

electron configeration

an electron occupies the lowest-energy orbital that can receive it

Aufbau principle

no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of h=four quantum numbers

Pauli exclusion principle

orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one electron before any orbital is occupied by a second electron, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals must have the same spin state

Hund's rule

the Group 18 elements (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon) are called

the noble gases

refers to an outer main energy level occupied, in most cases, by 8 electrons

noble-gas configuration

Mendeleev's principle of chemical periodicity correctly stated here; the physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers

periodic law

an arrangement of the elements in order of their atomic numbers so the elements with similar properties fall in the same column or group

periodic table

14 elements with atomic numbers from 58-71; similar in chemical and physical properties

lanthanides

14 elements with atomic numbers from 90-103; set off below the main portion of the periodic table to save space

actinides

elements of group 1 on the periodic table (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium)

alkali metals

elements of group 2 on the periodic table (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium)

alkaline-earth metals

the d-block elements are metals with typical metallic properties

transition metals

the p-block elements together with the s-block elements

main-group elements

the elements of Group 17 (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine)

halogens

may be defined as one-half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together (the trend to smaller atoms across a period charge of the nucleus)

atomic radius

an atomic group of banded atoms that has a positive or negative charge

ion

any process that results in the formation of an ion

ionization

the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of any element

ionization energy

the energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom is called the atom's

electron affinity

a positive ion is known as a

cation

a negative ion is known as an

anion

the electrons available to be lost, gained, or shared in the formation of chemical compounds are referred to as

valence electrons

a measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound (tends to increase across each period)

electronegativity
