Question
Answer
the photoelectric effect and hydrogen’s emission-line spectrum revealed what   that light could behave as both a wave and a particle  
🗑
bending of a wave as it passes by the edge of an object or through a small opening   Diffraction  
🗑
occurs when waves overlap   Interference  
🗑
How are electrons detected   Electrons are detected by their interaction with photons  
🗑
states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle.   Heisenberg uncertainty principle  
🗑
describes mathematically the wave properties of electrons and other very small particles.   Quantum theory  
🗑
the principle that states that determining both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle simultaneously is impossible   Heisenberg uncertainty principle  
🗑
specify the properties of atomic orbitals and the properties of electrons in orbitals   Quantum numbers  
🗑
first three quantum numbers result from solutions to the Schrödinger equation indicate   indicate the main energy level, the shape, and the orientation of an orbital  
🗑
The fourth number, the spin quantum number,describes   a fundamental state of the electron that occupies the orbital  
🗑
symbolized by n, indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron   principal quantum number,  
🗑
Values of n in teh Principal quantum number are what type of integer   Positive integers only  
🗑
As n increases   the electron’s energy and its average distance from the nucleus increase  
🗑
The total number of orbitals that exist in a given shell, or main energy level is equal to   n2.  
🗑
symbolized by l, indicates the shape of the orbital   angular momentum quantum number  
🗑
For a specific main energy level, the number of orbital shapes possible is equal to   n  
🗑
The values of l allowed are   zero and all positive integers less than or equal to n − 1.  
🗑
The Orbital Letter Designations According to Values are   L = 0 and L = 1; 1 = P; 2 = d; 3 = f  
🗑
What shape corresponds to the s orbital   spherical  
🗑
What shape corresponds to the p orbital   dumbbell shapes  
🗑
what shape corresponds to the d orbital   It is more complex  
🗑
How can Atomic orbitals be similar and different   Similar shape but different orientations around the nucleus  
🗑
What is symbolized by m which indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus   magnetic quantum number  
🗑
What values correspond to m   Whole numbers including zero, from -l to +l  
🗑
the number of orbitals at each main energy level equals   the square of the principal quantum number, n2  
🗑
has only two possible values—(+1/2 , −1/2)—which indicate the two fundamental spin states of an electron in an orbital   spin quantum number  
🗑
A three dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron.   Orbital  
🗑
