| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| 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 J s, where J is a symbol for joule ans 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 | Shine 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. |
| Heisenburg 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 | States that each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available. |
| Pauli Exclusion Principle | State that a maximum of two electrons, with 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. |
