Term
Electromagnetic Radiation
(order)
Definition
Radio Waves
Microwave
Infared heat
Visible Light
Ultra Violet
X-ray
Gamma ray
Term
Speed of light
Definition
2.998*10^8 m/s
Term
Wavelength
Definition
The physical distance between peaks
m
lambda
Term
Frequency
Definition
wavelength/cycle/sec
Hz = 1/s = s^-1
Term
quanta
Definition
the smallest amt of energy that can be emitted/absorbed in electromagnetic radation
(packets of energy that can be either absorbed or released)
a unit
Term
Planck's equation
Definition
E=hV
h= 6.626*10^-34
Term
Threshhold Frequency
Definition
the minimum frequency that causes the electrons to eject (diferent for each metal)

less intensity-> less electrons
more intensity -> more packets -> more electrons come off
Term
Broglie's equation
Definition
lambda= h/mv
(mass*velocity)
Term
Heisenberg's Uncertaintity Principle
Definition
you can't determine where an electron is. The very act of observing changes the observed.
Term
Pauli's Exclusion Princliple
Definition
elecrons can never be doing the same thing as another in the same atom; each atom has its own unique address
Term
Hund's Rule
Definition
electrons do not 'pair up' until all equivalent orbitals have 1e- (more stable)
Term
Isoelectronic
Definition
same electron configuration as another
Term
Screening Effect
Definition
attraction to nucleus is smaller when there are more electrons (than when there is just one)
Term
Effective Nuclear Charge
Definition
the positive charge experienced by an electron in a many-electron atom

the stregth of the the effect the nucleus has on a (far out) electron
Term
Atomic Size
Definition
length of nucleus to outer most (radius)
Trend:
atomic size gets bigger as you go down groups
atomic size decreses (slightly) as you move right on the period
Term
Ionization energy
Definition
the energy required to remove an electron from the atom
ALWAYS POSITIVE
Trend:
increases as you move right on the period
decreases when you move down in a group
Anomolies:
between...
Be/B
N/O
Mg/Al
P/S
Term
Electron Affinity
Definition
the energy change when an atom gains an electron to from an anion

the greater the negative, the more the atom wants it

Trend: becomes more neg (relases more energy/heat as you move right on the period
No real trend moving down groups
Anomalies:
Be>0 (already has a filled sublevel, doesn't really want it)
same for N, Mg
Term
Relative Sizes of Atoms to their Ions
Definition
Atoms always become smaller when they become cadions (metals, looses electrons)
atoms always become bigger when they become anions (nonmetals, gains electrons)
