Question
Answer
Electromagnetic Radiation   Form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space  
🗑
Electromagnetic Spectrum   Electromagnetic spectrum  
🗑
Frequency   Number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time, typically one second  
🗑
Visible Light   Spectrum that is used by most organisms to be able to see  
🗑
Velocity of a Wave   Product of wavelength and frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is roughly in the middle  
🗑
Photoelectric Effect   Emission of electrons from a metal when light shines on the metal  
🗑
Quantum   Minimum quantity of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom  
🗑
Planck’s Constant   Fundamental physical constant; h=6.626 × 10-34 J⋅s  
🗑
Photon   Particle of electromagnetic radiation that has zero rest mass and carries a quantum of energy  
🗑
Energy of a Photon   E(photon)=hv  
🗑
Ground State   Lowest energy state of an atom  
🗑
Excited State   State in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state  
🗑
Line-Emission spectrum   Series specific wavelengths of emitted light created when the visible portion of light from excited atoms is shined through a prism  
🗑
Continuous Spectrum   Emission of continuous range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation  
🗑
Bohr Radius   Radius of the s orbital in hydrogen  
🗑
Interference   Waves overlapping that results in a reduction of energy in some areas and an increase of energy in others  
🗑
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle   “It is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle”  
🗑
Quantum Theory or Quantum Mechanics   Mathematical description of the wave properties of electrons and and other very small particles  
🗑
Orbital   Three-dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron  
🗑
Quantum Numbers   Number that specifies the properties of atomic orbitals and the properties of electrons in orbitals  
🗑
Principle Quantum Number (n)   Quantum number that indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron  
🗑
Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l )   Quantum number that indicates the shape of the orbital  
🗑
Magnetic Quantum Number (m)   Quantum number that indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus  
🗑
Spin Quantum Number (s)   Spin quantum number (s)  
🗑
Electron Configuration   Arrangement of electrons in an atom  
🗑
Pauli Exclusion Principle   "No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers"  
🗑
Hund’s Rule   Orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one electron before any orbital is occupied by a second electron, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals must have the same spin  
🗑
Valence Electron   Electron that is available to be lost, gained, or shared in the formation of chemical compounds  
🗑
Inner-Shell electrons   Electron that is not in the highest occupied energy level  
🗑
Highest Occupied level   Electron-containing main energy level with the highest principal quantum number  
🗑
Noble Gas Configuration   Outer main energy level fully occupied, in most cases, by eight electrons  
🗑
S Sublevel or Sub-Orbita   Spherical shaped; only one sublevel is possible per n value  
🗑
P Sublevel or Sub-Orbital   Dumbbell shaped; three sub levels possible per n value (x, y, z axis)  
🗑
F Sublevel or Sub-orbita   More complex shaped; seven sub levels possible per n value  
🗑


   

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.
