Term
AMPLITUDE
Definition
MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF A WAVE AS MEASURED FROM THE AXIS OF PROPAGATION. 
Term
VELOCITY
Definition
SPEED OF THE WAVE
Term
EQUATION OF VELOCITY
Definition
C= LAMBDA TIMES FREQUENCY
Term
THE NATURE OF MATTER
Definition

MATTER AND ENERGY WERE DISTINCT:

MATTER WAS A COLLECTION OF PARTICLES AND ENERGY WAS A COLLECTION OF WAVES

 

Term
THE QUANTIZATION OF ENERGY
Definition

"ULTRAVIOLET CATASTROPHE"- DEFINES AS THE FACT THAT A FLOWING HOT OBJECT DID NOT EMIT UV LIGHT AS PREDICTED

 

Term
PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
Definition

LIGHT BOMBARDS THE SURFACE OF A METAL AND ELECTRONS ARE EJECTED. 

 

Term
FREQUENCY
Definition
A MINIMUM FREQUENCY MUST BE MET OR ALAS, NO ACTION. 
Term
PHOTON
Definition
MASSLESS PARTICLES OF LIGHT. 
Term
EMISSION SPECTRUM
Definition
THE SPECTRUM OF BRIGHT LINES, BANDS, OR CONTINUOUS RADIATION THA IS PROVIEDE BY A SPECIFIC EMITING SUBSTANCES AS IT LOSES ENERGY AND RETURNS TO ITS GROUND STATE. 
Term
ABSORPTION SPECTRUM
Definition
A GRAPH OR DISPLAY RELATING HOW A SUBSTANCE ABSORBS ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AS A FUNCTION OF WAVELENGTH. 
Term
LINE SPECTRUM
Definition
ISOLATE A THIN BEAM BY PASSING THROUGH A SLIT THEN A PRISM OR A DIFFRACTION GRATING WHICH SORTS INTO DISCRETE FREQUENCIES OR LINES. 
Term
JOHANN BALMER
Definition
WORKED OUT A MATHEMATICAL RELATIONSHIP THAT ACCOUNTED FOR THE 3 LINES OF LONGEST WAVELENGTH IN THE VISIBLE EMISSIONS SPECTRUM OF H. 
Term
"THE MOTHER OF ALL ASUMPTION"
Definition
AN ELECTRON IN AN ATOM WOULD REMAIN IN ITS LOWEST E STATE UNLESS OTHER WISE DISTURBED, 
Term
GROUND STATE
Definition
n=1 FOR HYDROGEN
Term
THE WAVE MECHANICAL VIEW OF THE ATOM
Definition
SCHRODINGER EQUATION: SOLUTIONS ARE CALLED WAVE FUNCTIONS--CHEMICALLY IMPORTANT.  THE ELECTRON IS CHARACTERIZED AS A MATTER-WAVE.
Term
QUANTIUM NUMBERS
Definition

n-THE PRINCIPAL ENERGY LEVEL.

t= THE ANGULAR MOMENTUM

Term
Mt=MAGNETIC
Definition
ASSIGN THE "BLANKS" IN ORBITAL NOTATION WITH ZERO ON THE MIDDLE BLANK ANG THE -l THROUGH +l
Term
SHAPE OF ATOMIC ORBITALS
Definition

S-SPHERICAL THE SIZE INCREASES WITH n.

P-HAVE ONE PLANE THAT SLICES THROUGH THE NUCLEUS AND DIVIDES THE REGION OF THE ELECTRON DENSITY INTO 2 HALVES. 

Term
ELECTRON CONFIGURATION
Definition
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES DEPEND ON THE NUMBER AND ARRANGEMENT OF ELECTRONS IN AN ATOM
Term
ELECTRON SPIN
Definition
CHEMISTS REALIZED THAT SINCE ELECTRONS INTERACTED WITH A MAGNETIC FIELD THERE MUST BE ONE MORE CONCEPT TO EXPLAIN THE BEHAVIOR OF ELECTRONS IN ATOMS. 
Term
MAGNETITE
Definition
NATURAL MAGNETIC OXIDE OF IRON
Term
DIAMAGNETIC
Definition
NOT MAGNETIC; IN FACT THEY ARE SLIGHTLY REPELLED BY A MAGNETIC FIELD
Term
PARAMAGNETIC
Definition

ATTRACTED TO A MAGNETIC FIELD; LOSE THEIR MAGNETISM WHEN REMOVED FROM THE MAGNETIC FIELD

 

Term
FERROMAGNETIC
Definition
RETAIN MAGNETISM UPON INTRODUCTION TO, THEN REMOVAL FROM A MAGNETIC FIELD. 
Term
HUNDS RULE
Definition
THE MOST STABLE ARRANGEMENTS OF ELECTRONS IS THAT WITH THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNPAIRED ELECTRONS. 
Term
PERIODIC TRENDS
Definition
A TREND IS NOT AN EXPLANATION
Term
ATOMIC RADIUS
Definition

NO SHARP BOUNDARY BEYOND WHICH THE ELECTRON NEVER STRAYS

 

Term
ATOMIC RADIUS
Definition
DECREASES MOVING ACROSS A PERIOD AND INCREASES MOVING DOWN A ROW.
Term
IONIZATION ENERGY
Definition
ENERGY REQUIRED TO REMOVE AN ELECTRON FROM THE ATOM IN THE GAS PHASE.
Term
ELECTRON AFFINITY
Definition
AN AFFINITY OR "LIKING" FOR ELECTRONS- FORCE FEEDING AN ELEMENT AN ELECTRON- ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH ADDITION OF AN ELECTRON TO A GASEOUS ATOM.
Term
IONIC RADII
Definition

CATIONS: SHRINK BIG TIME SINCE THE NUCLEUS IS NOW ATTRACTING FEWER ELECTRONS

ANIONS: EXPAND SINCE THE NUCLEUS IS NOW ATTRACTING MORE ELECTRONS THEN THERE ARE PROTONS

ISOELECTRONIC: IONS CONTAINING THE SAME NUMBER OF ELECTRONS

Term
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
Definition

THE ABILITY OF AN ATOM IN A MOLECULE TO ATTRACT SHARED ELECTRONS TO ITSELF.
