Term
electromagnetic radiation
Definition

means of energy transfer, all electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light (c)

 

3.00 × 108

  meters/ second

 

 

Term
wavelength ( λ)
Definition
distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs
Term
frequency (V)
Definition
number of waves per second that pass a given point in space
Term
wavelength in relation to frequency
Definition

λV = C

Term
dual nature of light
Definition
eletromagnetic radiation exhibit both wave and particle properties
Term
Max Planck
Definition

energy is quantized and can only be gained or lost in discrete units called quanta or integer multiples of

 

hV,

 

E = nhV

 

h is Planck's Constant (6.626  × 10-34)

 

Term
Albert Einstein
Definition

electromagnetic radiation can be viewed as a stream  of "particles" called photons

 

E = hV =  hc/ λ

 

also discovered that energy has mass

 

m =  E/c2 = h/λc

Term
Louis de Brogile
Definition

All matter exhibits particlulate and wave properties

 

λ = mv 

 

v is for velocity here

 

 

 

Term
continuous spectrum
Definition
contains all wavelengths of visible light
Term
line spectrum
Definition
contains only a few lines, which correspond to discrete wavelengths
Term
Bohr Model
Definition

E = -2.178 × 10-18 J (Z2 / n2 )

Term
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Definition
we never know where exactly an electron is
Term
Quantum Number
Definition
the address of an electron
Term
n
Definition

principle quantum number or the energy level

 

1- s

2 - s,p

3 - s,p,d

4 - s,p,d,f

Term

l

Definition

angular momentum quantum numbers

 

n - 1

 

0-s

1-p

2-d

3-f

 

Term
m l
Definition

magnetic quantum number

 

- l to l

Term
m s
Definition

electron spin

 

- 1/2 

+ 1/2

Term
Pauli exclusion principle
Definition
no two electrons can have the same address or the same set of principle quantum numbers
Term
Aufbau Principle
Definition
for every proton, there is an electron
Term
Hund's rule
Definition
one electron in each orbital before they double up
Term
Ionization Energy
Definition

The energy it takes to remove an electron.

 

Increases as you go left to right in a period

Decreases as you go down a group/family

Term
Electron Affinity
Definition

energy needed to ADD an electron

 

More negative as you go from left to right in a period

More positive as you go down a group/family

 

Term
Shielding Effect
Definition
As an energy level is filled, it becomes a "shield" from the nucleus
Term
Atomic Radius
Definition

half the distance between two indentical atoms' nuclei

 

 

Decreases as you go from Left to Right in a period

Increases as you go down a group/family

Term
Cation
Definition
Positive ion, few electrons, more positive pull, so smaller than neutral parent atom
Term
Anion
Definition
negative ion, more electrons, more repulsion, larger atom
Term
The Pattern across a period
Definition

cations get smaller

anions get larger
