| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| is aform of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels hrough space. | electromagneti radiation |
| is the shortest distance between equivalent points on a contiuous wave. | wavelenght |
| is the nuumber of waves that pass a given point per second. | frequency |
| is the wave's height from the orivin to a crest, or from the origin to a trough. | amplitude |
| called the EM spectrum, encomppasses all forms of electromagnetic radiation, with the only differences in the types of radiatoin being their frequencies and wavelenghts. | electromagnetic spectrum |
| is the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom | quantum |
| where J is the symbol for the joule, the SI unit of energy. | Planck's constant |
| called photoelectons, are emitted form a meta's surace when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface. | photoelectric effect |
| is a particle of electromanetic radiaton with no mass that carries quantum o0f energy. | photon |
| of an element is the set of 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 |
| statres that it is fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time. | Heisenberg uncertainty principle |
| the otomic model in which electrons are treated as waves is called the wave mechnical model of the atom or more comonly the..... | quantum mechanical model of the arom |
| A three-dimentional region around the nucleus. | atomic orbital |
| indicate tyhe relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals. | principal quantum number |
| Atoms major energy levels | pricipal energy level |
| Principal energy levels contain this strand of energy. | energy sublevel |
