        Help!  

Question
Answer
electromagnetic radiation   a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space.  
🗑
wavelength   the shortest distance between equivalent points on a contiuous wave.  
🗑
frequency   the number of waves that pass a given point per second.  
🗑
amplitude   the wave's height from origin to a crest, or from the origin to a trough.  
🗑
electromagnetic spectrum   oncompasses all forms of electromagnetic radiation, with the only differences in types of radiation being their frequencies and wavelengths.  
🗑
quantum   the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom.  
🗑
Planck's constant   has a value of 6.626 x 10^-34J * s, where J is the symbol for joules, the SI unit of energy.  
🗑
photoelectric effect   photoelectrons are emitted from a metals surface when lighht of a certain frequency shines on the surface.  
🗑
photon   a partticle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy.  
🗑
atomic emission spectrum   the set of frequencies of the electromagnetic weaves emitted by atoms of the element.  
🗑
ground state   lowest allowable energy state of an atom  
🗑
de Broglie equation   pedicts that all moving particles have wave characteristics.  
🗑
Heisenberg uncertainly principle   states that if it is fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time.  
🗑
quantum mechanical model of the atom   an atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves; also called the wave mechanical model of the atom  
🗑
atomic orbital    
🗑
principal quantum number    
🗑
energy sublevel    
🗑


   

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.
