| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| electromagnetic spectrum | includes all forms of electromagnetic radiation with differing wavelengths and frequencies |
| planck's constant | has a value of 6.626 x 10 -34 Js, where J is a symbol for joule and s is seconds |
| photoelectric effect | phenomenon in which photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface. |
| continuous spectrum | shines with a connected series of colors,each with unique wavelengths and frequencies |
| atomic emission spectrum | set of frequencies of light emitted by the atoms of a specific element. |
| Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle | states that it fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time. |
| electron configuration | arrangement of electrons in an atom |
| Aufbau Principle | stated that each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available |
| Pauli exclusion principle | states that a maximum of two electrons, with of opposite spins, may occupy a single atomic orbital |
| Hund's rule | single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal energy orbital before additional electrons are added |
