24-25 Electrons Flashcard Practice

Front

What is the distance between two crests or two troughs of a wave called?

Back

Wavelength

Front

How many orbitals are in the p subshell?

Back

3

Front

What does the orbital diagram represent for the element with atomic number 8?

Back

Oxygen

Front

Which of the following is a correctly written electron configuration?

Back

D

Front

What evidence shows that elements give off their own unique color spectrum?

Back

Each gas tube gave off its own unique color and color spectrum when we looked at the light through the spectroscope. None of them were the exact same.

Front

Define wavelength in the context of wave properties.

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is the significance of the p subshell in electron configuration?

Back

The p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons and consists of 3 orbitals.

Front

How can you identify an element based on its orbital diagram?

Back

By counting the number of electrons and their arrangement in the orbitals, you can determine the element's identity.

Front

What is the role of a spectroscope in observing light spectra?

Back

A spectroscope separates light into its component colors, allowing us to see the unique spectrum of each element.

Front

Explain the concept of electron configuration.

Back

Electron configuration describes the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals.
