Question
Answer
Absorption Spectrum   shows the pattern of electromagnetic radiation lines absorbed by atoms of an element which are at their ground state energy level; each element has its own unique absorption spectrum.  
🗑
Emission Spectrum   shows the pattern of electromagnetic radiation lines emitted by atoms of element which have been at an excited state energy level; each element has its own unique emission spectrum.  
🗑
Electromagnetic Radiation   transverse waves that are emitted from electrically charged particles.  
🗑
Electromagnetic Spectrum   complete range of wavelengths which light can have. These include radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x  
🗑
Electron Cloud Model   current model of the atom that describes the allowed energies an electron can have and the most probably locations of electrons around the nucleus.  
🗑
Energy Level   each electron’s fixed amount of energy.  
🗑
Quantum (of energy)   the amount of energy to move an electron from its present energy level to the next higher one.  
🗑
Excited State   an increased energy level of an electron; this is achieved by absorbing a quantum of energy.  
🗑
Ground State   the lowest possible energy of an electron.  
🗑
Wavelength   the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave.  
🗑
Frequency   the number of wavelengths that pass one place each second.  
🗑
Orbital   one part of a sublevel; each orbital can hold two electrons.  
🗑
Valence Electron   electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom.  
🗑
Electron Configuration   a representation of the number of electrons of an atom or ion and the orbitals in which they lie.  
🗑
Sublevel   one part of an energy level, each sublevel can hold different numbers of electrons.  
🗑
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle   it is impossible to know exactly both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time  
🗑


   

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.
