Term
Definition
Dalton's Atomic Theory   1. All matter is made up of very small particles called atoms. 2. All atoms are indivisible. They cannot be broken down into smaller particles.  
🗑
Cathode Rays   Streams of negatively charged particles called electrons. They travel in straight lines from the cathode to the anode, are deflected by electric and magnetic fields, and have sufficient energy to move a small object such as a paddle wheel.  
🗑
Energy Level   Defined as the fixed energy value an electron in an atom may have.  
🗑
Ground State of an atom   One in which the electrons occupy the lowest available energy levels  
🗑
Excited State of an atom   One in which the electrons occupy higher energy levels than those available in the ground state.  
🗑
Equation for emission line spectrum frequency   E2-E1=hf  
🗑
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle   States that it is impossible to measure at the same time both the velocity and the position of an electron.  
🗑
Orbital   a region in space within which there is a high probability of finding an electron  
🗑
Sublevel   is a subdivision of the main energy level,and consists of one or more orbitals of the same energy  
🗑
Electron configuration   shows the arrangement of electrons in an atom of an element  
🗑
Aufbau Principle   When building up the electron configuration of an atom in its ground state, the electrons occupy the lowest available energy levels  
🗑
Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity   States that when two or more orbitals of equal energy are available, the electrons will occupy them singly before filling them in pairs  
🗑
The Pauli exclusion principle   States that no more than two electrons may occupy an orbital, and they must have opposite spin  
🗑


   

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.
