Question
Answer
a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space   Electromagnetic Radiation  
🗑
all the forms of electromagnetic radiation   Electromagnetic Spectrum  
🗑
the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves   Wavelength  
🗑
the number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time, usually one second   Frequency  
🗑
the emission of electrons from a metal when light shines on the metal   Photoelectric effect  
🗑
the minimum quantity of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom   Quantum  
🗑
a particle of electromagnetic radiation having zero mass and carrying a quantum of energy   Photon  
🗑
the lowest energy state of an atom   Ground state  
🗑
a state in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state   Excited state  
🗑
when a narrow beam of the emitted light was shined through a prism, it was separated into a series of specific frequencies (and therefore specific wavelengths) of visible light – the bands of light are part of the line-emission spectrum   Line-emission spectrum  
🗑
the emission of a continuous range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation   Continuous spectrum  
🗑
states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and the velocity of an electron or any other particle   Heisenberg uncertainty principle  
🗑
describes mathematically the waves properties of electrons and other very small particles   Quantum theory  
🗑
a three-dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron   Orbital  
🗑
specify the properties of atomic orbitals and the properties of electrons in orbitals   Quantum numbers  
🗑
symbolized by n, indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron   Principal quantum number  
🗑
symbolized by l, indicates the shape of the orbital   Angular momentum quantum number  
🗑
symbolized by m, indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus   Magnetic quantum number  
🗑
has only two possible values(+1/2, -1/2) which indicate the two fundamental spin states of an electron orbital   Spin quantum number  
🗑
the arrangement of electrons in an atom   Electron configuration  
🗑
an electron occupies the lowest energy orbital that can receive it   Aufbau principle  
🗑
no 2 electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers   Pauli exclusion principle  
🗑
orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one electron before any orbital is occupied b a second electron, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals must have the same spin   Hund’s rule  
🗑
electrons that are not in the highest occupied energy level   Inner-shell electrons  
🗑
the Group 18 elements (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon)   Noble gasses  
🗑
outer main energy level fully occupied [most cases-by 8 electrons]   Noble-gas configuration  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
