Chemistry: Precision & Design - Chapters 7-8

Aiden is playing his guitar and notices that the louder he plays, the more the strings vibrate. What can the amplitude of the wave produced by the guitar strings be considered a measure of?

• strength

• speed

• frequency

• wavelength

Which of the following statements best explains why the 4s orbital fills before the 3d orbital?

• The orbitals fill in order of increasing n+1.

• The electrons' attraction for the nucleus pulls the 4s orbital inward.

• Orbitals' letters were chosen so the orbitals fill in reverse alphabetical order.

• Electron repulsion causes energy overlap between the electron shells.

Modified T/F:

When Kai and Nora were at the beach, they noticed that the high points of the waves were called crests.

Modified T/F:

During a science class, Mia explained that the theory which describes light as consisting of tiny 'packets' of energy, exhibiting both particle and wave characteristics, is known as the matter wave theory of light.
