vocab for Ch. 7
Question | Answer |
---|---|
wavelength (l) | distance between identical points on successive waves |
frequency | number of waves that pass a given point per unit time |
amplitude | height measured from the center of a wave, the squared of the amplitude gives the intensity |
speed | wavelength multiplied by its frequency in reciprocal seconds |
photon | particle of light |
atomic spectra | results from excited atoms emitting light |
line spectra | results from electron transitions between specific energy levels |
quantum numbers | n,l,m |
n | pricipal quantum number: positive integer: number of last orbital |
l | angular momentum: find by s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3 |
m(l) | magnetic momentum: what it is asking for in its orbital diagram |
m(s) | negative or positive 1/2: depends on where it falls in the orbital diagram |
s orbital | spherical in shape, radius of shere increases with increasing value of n |
p orbitals | have two lobes with a node between them |
d orbitals | four of the five orbitals have 4 lobes; the other resembles a p orbital with a doughnut around the center |
