Define absorption
The process by which electrons gain energy and move from lower to higher energy levels. In the image an electron moves from energy level 2 to level 3
The process by which electrons gain energy and move from lower to higher energy levels. In the image an electron moves from energy level 2 to level 4
Process which emits photons as electrons "jump" from higher to lower energy levels
The process by which electrons gain energy and move from lower to higher energy levels. In the image an electron moves from energy level 3 to level 1
Define Atomic spectra
Electromagnetic emission from atoms. Different elements produce same patterns of atomic spectra.
Electromagnetic radiation from atoms. Different elements produce different patterns of atomic spectra.
Electromagnetic emission from atoms. Different elements produce different patterns of atomic spectra.
Form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
Define Aufbau principle
Sub shells (boxes) must have at least 1 e- in each orbital before placing another e- and filling
Rule that electrons occupy the orbitals of lowest energy first
No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers
Define Electromagnetic radiation
Process which emits photons as electrons "jump" from higher to lower energy levels
Arrangement of electrons in an atom
Discrete amount of allowed energies for electrons in an atom (electron is either in level 1 or level 2, not somewhere in between)
Form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
Fixed energy ranges are know as
orbits
levels
subshells
Define quantum
electrons must gain or lose the right amount
the amount of energy required to move one electron from one energy level to another.(Tells which energy level an electron is in.)
A region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found. (box)
I really don't know
Define Frequency (light)
Number of wave peaks pass a certain point per given time.Low freq light = red High freq light = blue
An electrons orbital, either s, p, d, or f
it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron
the length of one wiggle (peak to peak, trough to trough)
Define wavelength
Number of wave peaks pass a certain point per given time.
Horizontal distance between the crests or between the troughs of two adjacent waves Red light = long Blue light = short
the distance a cycle travels per unit time
Define Sublevel (subshell)
s-subshell
p-subshell
d-subshell
An electrons orbital, either s, p, d, or f
Level 1 = 1s
Level 2 = 2s and 2p
Level 3 = 3s, 3p and 3d
Level 4 = 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f
Define ground state
the lowest energy level of an electron in an atom
an unstable electron state occurring after an electron absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy state.
a particle of light, the amount of energy an electron gains or loses when changing energy level
Tells which energy level an electron is in.
Define exited state
he lowest energy level of an electron in an atom
The relationship between frequency and wavelength, because when wavelength increases, frequency decreases.
an unstable electron state occurring after an electron absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy state.
An electrons orbital, either s, p, d, or f
