Chapter 5: Chemistry

This is a review over chapter 5 "electrons in Atoms" in Person chemistry book

Question/TermAnswer/definition
Rutherford's atomic model Explained only a few simple properties of atoms. It could not explain the chemical properties of elements.
The Bohr Model Changed initial model to incorperate newer discoveries about how the energy of an atom changes when an atom absorbs or emits lights. He considered this to be the atom, hydrogen, which has one electron.
energy levels the fixed energies an electron can have
quantum the amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another.
quantum mechanical model Determines the allowed energies an electron can have and how likely it is to find the electron in various locations around the nucleus of an atom.
atomic orbital describes the probability of finding an electron at various locations around the nucleus.
shape of s orbital circular
p orbital shape shaped like an 8
d orbital shape flower, or double passifire
electron configuration they ways in which electrons are arranged in various orbitals around the nuclei of atoms.
aufbau principle elecrtons occupy the orbitals of lowest energy first.
Pauli exclusion principle an atomic orbital may describe at the most two electrons
spin a quantum mechanical property of electrons and may be thorught of as clockwise or counterclockwise
Hund's rule Electrons occupy orbitals of the same energy in a way that makes the number of electrons with the same spin direction as large as possible.
amplitude the wave's height from zero to the crest
wavelength represented by lambda and is the distance between the crests.
frequency the SI unit of cycles per second
electromagnetic radiation includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays
spectrum when sunlight passes through a prisum, the different wavelengths seperate into a _____ of colors.
Atomic emission spectrum the wavelengths of spectral lines are characteristics of the element, and they make of the spectral lines are characteristic of the element.
Planck's constant the constant (h), which has a value of 6.626*10^-34
photoelectric effect electrons are ejected when light shines on a metal
photons Einstein's proposed that light cold be described as quanta of energy that behave as if they were particles.
ground state when the electron has its lowest possible energy.
Heisenberg uncertainty principle state that it is impospossible to know bothe the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
