Question | Answer |
---|---|
Electromagnetic Spectrum | Includes all the forms of electromagnetic radiation with differing wavelengths and frequencies |
Planck's constant | Has a value of 6.626 x 10^-32 J/s, where J is a symbol for joule and s is seconds |
Photoelectric effect | phenomenon in which photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface |
continuous spectrum | shines with a connected series of colors, each with unique wavelenghts and frequencies |
atomic emission spectrum | set of frequencies of light emitted by the atoms of a specific element |
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle | States that it fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time |
electron configuration | arrangement of electrons in an atom |
Aufbau principle | states that each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available |
Pauli exclusion principle | states that a maximum of two electrons, with opposite spins, may occupy a single atomic orbital |
Hund's Rule | single electrons with he same spin must occupy each equal energy orbital before additional electrons are added |
