Term
whole-number multiple
Definition

molecular weight


empirical formula weight

Term
rounding rule
Definition
to arrive at the nearest whole number, the number must be within 0.2 to round up or down
Term
mole ratio
Definition
the ratio of moles of one substance to moles of another substance in a balanced equation
Term
stoichiometric quantities
Definition
the exact amount of reactants that is used so that all of the reactants will run out (used up) at the same time
Term
limiting reactant (reagent)
Definition
the reactant that is consumed first and limits the amounts of product formed
Term
theoretical yield
Definition
the amount of a product formed when the limiting reagent is completely consumed
Term
actual yield
Definition
the amount of product actually obtained
Term
percent yield
Definition
actual yield/theoretical yield x 100
Term
visible light region
Definition

Term
continuous spectrum
Definition
a spectrum that exhibits all the wavelenths of visible light (white light pass through a prism)
Term
line spectrum
Definition
a spectrum that contains certain specific wavelengths which are characteristic of a substance emitting those wavelengths
Term
wavelength
Definition
the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave
Term
frequency (v)
Definition
the given number of waves (cycles) per second that pass through a given point in space
Term
speed (c)
Definition
indicates how fast a given peak moves through space
Term
long wavelength
Definition

Term
Plank's Constant
Definition
6.626 x 10-34
Term
Compton Effect
Definition
the transfer of energy from the photon to the electron
Term
Conclusions from Plank & Einstein
Definition

1. Energy is quantized. It can only occur in discrete units called quanta.

2. Electromagnetic radiation, which was previously thought to exhibit only wave properties, seems to show certain characteristics of particulate matter as well.  This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as the dual nature of light

Term
Louis de Broglie
Definition
investigated the dual nature of matter and discovered an equation which allows us to calculate the wavelength of a particle
Term
Defraction
Definition
the scattering of light from a regular array of points or lines, producing contructive and destructive interference
Term
CJ Davisson and L.H. Germer
Definition
directed a beam of electrons at a Ni crystal, and observed a diffraction pattern similar to x-ray defraction
Term
high-energy photon
Definition
short wavelength of light
Term
low-energy photon
Definition
long wavelength of light
Term
quantized
Definition
only certain values are allowed for energy levels
Term
Neils Bohr
Definition
developed quantum model for the H atom. proposed that the electron in a H atom moves around the nucleus only in certain allowed circular orbits. calculated the radii for these allowed orbits by knowing that particles in motion tend to move in a straight line and can travel in a circle only by application of a force toward the center of the circle
Term
molecular formula
Definition

molar mass


empirical formula mass

Term

Definition
6.626 x 10-34J*s
