Chem Test Chapter 11

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
electromagnetic radiation   radiant energy exhibits wavelike behavior and travels through space at the speed of light  
🗑
wave model   light consists of electromagnetic radiation traveling through space  
🗑
wavelength   the distance between two consecutive wave peaks/crests or troughs in a wave  
🗑
λ   wavelength  
🗑
frequency   the number of waves (cycles) per second that pass given point in space  
🗑
v   frequency  
🗑
speed   how fast a given peak travels  
🗑
amplitude   the displacement of a wave from zero; the height of a peak or the depth of a trough  
🗑
wave-particle nature of light   light consists of both waves and particles of energy  
🗑
photon   particle of electromagnetic radiation, packet of energy  
🗑
excited state   a higher energy state of an atom due to excess energy  
🗑
ground state   the lowest possible energy state of an atom  
🗑
emission spectra   bright line spectra produced when electrons drop to lower energy levels  
🗑
absorption spectra   dark lines on a rainbow background, electrons in cooler outer laters go up to higher energy levels and absorb proper frequencies  
🗑
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle   it is impossible to know simultaneously both the exact momentum of an electron and its exact position in space  
🗑
atomic orbital   the three dimensional region in which there is a high probability of finding as electron in an atom  
🗑
principal energy level/principal quantum number   number denoted by n and which indirectly describes the size of the electron orbital  
🗑
sublevels   types of orbitals  
🗑
Aufbau Principle   electrons occupy atomic orbitals starting with the lowest energy orbital first  
🗑
Paul Exclusion Principle   an atomic orbitals can hold a maximum of two electrons and those two electrons must have opposite spins  
🗑
electron configuration   the arrangement of electrons in an atom  
🗑
orbital diagram   orbitals are subdivided into boxes or lines with arrows representing electrons  
🗑
Hund's Rule   when electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy, each is singly occupied before doubly occupied and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same (parallel) spin  
🗑
valence electrons   the electrons in the outermost (highest) principal energy level of an atom; the electrons involved in bonding  
🗑
core electrons   inner electrons; the electrons that are not involved in binding atoms together  
🗑
atomic radius   measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons  
🗑
ionization energy   the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an element  
🗑
n   number of sub levels  
🗑
letter   type/shape of orbital  
🗑
s   1  
🗑
p   3  
🗑
d   5  
🗑
f   7  
🗑
Layman   UV  
🗑
Balmer   visible  
🗑
Pashcen   IR  
🗑
increasing wavelength   as you go right  
🗑
increasing frequency   as you go left  
🗑
Rutherford   discovered nuclear atom and electrons; thought electrons revolved around around the nucleus like planets around the sun; not right cause electrons would collapse  
🗑
Bohr   still thought electrons revolved like planets (in orbits); the theorized that electrons could move up in discrete amounts of energy to larger orbits; problem - not specific orbits  
🗑
Schrodinger and de Broglie   developed wave-mechanical model; theorizes electrons have wave and particle properties; electrons move to different orbitals (not orbits) when energy is added; current model  
🗑
metals   lustrous appearance, malleable and ductile, excellent conductors of heat and electricity; tend to lose electrons to form positive ions  
🗑
nonmetals   lack properties of metals, some exceptions; tend to gain electrons to form negative ions  
🗑
metalloids   have properties of metals and nonmetals; along stair step  
🗑
reactivity (metals)   increases down a group, most likely to lose an electron; most reactive is francium  
🗑
reactivity (nonmetals)   decreases down group; doesn't desire another energy level filled as much as previous levels; most reactive is fluorine  
🗑


   

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.
