Chem Ch 2

QuestionAnswer
Electromagnetic radiation The way energy is transferred through space. Travels as both waves and particles.
Wavelength The distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves.
Amplitude The height of the crest.
Wavelength can affect both ___ and ___ "color" Visible and non-visible.
Amplitude can affect ___ Brightness.
Frequency The number of waves passing a given point per unit of time.
Speed of light 3.00 x 10^8 m/s
Interference Waves are isolated but interact with each other.
Constructive interference The alignment of waves in phase, thus increasing amplitude.
Destructive interference The alignment of waves out of phase, thus canceling the waves.
Diffraction When a wave encounters an obstacle that is comparable in size, it bends around it.
Energy comes in packets called _____ Quanta
Energy is proportional to ____ Frequency
Energy of a photon equation E=hv
Bohr model included Explained the spectra of hydrogen, quantum numbers, and energy transitions.
Bohr model limitations Why doesn't an electron fall into the nucleus? Doesn't fully explain other atomic spectra. Doesn't explain wavelike properties.
The relationship between mass and wavelength wavelength = h/mv
X-ray diffraction X-rays passed through a crystal produced an interference pattern.
The more precisely the momentum of a particle is known... The less precisely its position is known.
Quantum mechanics A mathematical method into which both the wave and particle nature of matter could be incorporated.
Orbital Describes a spatial distribution of electron density. Described by a set of 3 quantum numbers.
Principle quantum number n: describes the energy level on which the orbital resides. The values are integers greater than or equal to 1.
Angular momentum l: defines the shape of the orbital. The values are integers ranging from 0 to n-1
L=0 s
L=1 p
L=2 d
L=3 f
Magnetic quantum number ml: describes the 3-dimensional orientation of the orbital. Allowed values are integers ranging from -L to L
Spin quantum number ms: describes its magnetic field, which affects its energy. Only has 2 allowed values: +1/2 and -1/2
The lowest energy level an electron can attain is n=_ or the __ orbital 1, 1s
Shape of s orbital Spherical
Each principle level with n=2 or greater contains __ __ orbitals 3 p, (ml=-1, 0, 1)
The p orbital should consist of __ ___ on either side of the nucleus. What is the shape? 2 lobes. Dumbbell
Each principle level with n=3 or greater contains __ __ orbitals 5 d, (ml=-2, -1, 0, 1, 2)
Based on the quantum numbers, four of the five d orbitals have __ lobes; the other resembles a __ orbital with a donut around the center. 4, p
Each principle level with n=4 or greater contains __ __ orbitals 7 f, (ml=-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3)
F orbitals are much more complex, and have more __ and __ than d orbitals Lobes, nodes
Why do we depict atoms as spherical if there are so many different shapes to the electron orbitals? Most atoms have so many electrons occupying different orbitals that superimposing them leads to a mostly spherical shape.
Shape of d orbital 4-leaf clover

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.
