|
Electromagnetic spectrum
|
Em spectrum is a range of all types of em radiation. For example, x Rays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet light, or infrared light
|
|
|
Radiant energy
|
The energy of electromagnetic radiation.The term is used particularly when electromagnetic radiation is emitted by a source into the surrounding environment.
|
|
|
Probability
|
The measure of likeliness that an event will occur. For example, a coined being flipped has a 50/50 probability that it will land on either side
|
|
|
Electron cloud
|
It is used to describe where electrons are when they go around the nucleus of an atom.The electron cloud model says that we can't know exactly where an electron is at any given time
|
|
|
Emission spectrum
|
the spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to an atom making a transition in energy. The energy of the emitted photon is equal to the energy difference between the two states.
|
|
|
Quantum mechanics
|
The science that interactions with energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles.The word "quantum" in this sense means the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction
|
|
|
Classical mechanics
|
Classical mechanics is concerned with the set of physical laws describing the motion of bodies under the action of a system of forces. Classical mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects
|
|
|
Lewis electron dot diagram
|
Lewis structures depict the bonds between atoms of a molecule as well as any unbonded electron pairs. It shows valence electrons
|
|
|
Momentum
|
There's linear momentum. It's the product of the mass and velocity. linear momentum is a vector quantity, possessing a direction as well as a magnitude.
|
|
|
Wave particle duality of nature
|
every elementary particle or every elementary particle or quantic entity exhibits the properties of not only particles, but also waves. It addresses the inability of the classical concepts particle or wave to fully describe the behavior of quantum-scale objects
