| Question |
Answer |
| Form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space. |
Electromagnetic radiation |
| The shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave. |
Wavelength |
| The number of waves that pass a given point per second. |
Frequency |
| The wave's height from the origin to a crest, or from the origin to a trough. |
Amplitude |
| Also called the EM spectrum, encompasses all forms of electromagnetic radiation, with the only differences in the types of radiation being their frequencies and wavelengths. |
Electromagnetic Spectrum |
| The minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom. |
Quantum |
| Has a value of 6.626 X 10^-34J |
Planck's Constant |
| Electrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface. |
Photoelectric Effect |
| A particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy. |
Photon |
| The set frequencies of the electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of the element. |
Atomic Emission Spectrum |
| The lowest allowable energy state of an atom. |
Ground State |
| Predicts that all moving particles have wave characteristics. |
De Broglie Equation |
| States that it is fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time. |
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle |
| The atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves. |
Quantum Mechanical Model Of The Atom |
| A three-dimensional region around the nucleus. |
Atomic Orbital |
| Indicates the relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals. |
Principal Quantum Numbers |
