Term
Rutherford's Model
Definition
A model that shows that the nucleus of the atom is composed of protons and neutrons.
Term
Electromagnetic Radiation
Definition
When energy is being transmitted from one place to another light.
Term
Wave
Definition
Described by wavelength, frequency and speed.
Term
Wavelength
Definition
Distance between 2 consecutive wave peaks.
Term
Frequency
Definition
How many wave peaks pass a point per given time period.
Term
Speed
Definition
How fast a peak travels through water.
Term
Photons
Definition
Tiny packets of energy that can be used to describe a beam of light.
Term
Excited State
Definition
When there is excess energy.
Term
Ground State
Definition
Lowest energy state of an atom.
Term
Excited H atoms
Definition
They always emit photons with the same colors.
Term
The energy levels of Hydrogen atoms
Definition
Quantized which means certain values are allowed.
Term
Bohr Model
Definition
Electrons move in circular orbits around the nucleus. This model turned out to be wrong.
Term
Wave mechanical Model
Definition
Electron states are described as orbitals and there is no information about when the electron occupies and how in this model.
Term
Principal Energy Levels
Definition
Hydrogen has discrete energy levels which is divided into sub levels.
Term
Pauli Exclusive Principle
Definition
An atomic orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons and must have opposite spins.
Term
Core Electrons
Definition
The inner electrons.
Term
Metals
Definition
They are lustrous and change shape without breaking and they are good conductors of heat and electricity. They lost electrons for positive ions.
Term
Nonmetals
Definition
They don't usually have physical properties and they gain electrons for negative ions.
Term
Metalloids
Definition
Elements that have both metal and nonmetal characteristics.
Term
Ionization Energy
Definition
Energy that is required to remove an electron from an atom in gas phase.
