Chapter 4: Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms (Holt Modern Chemistry)

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

Question
Answer
A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space   Electromagnetic radiation  
🗑
All forms of electromagnetic radiation form this   Electromagnetic spectrum  
🗑
The distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves   Wavelength  
🗑
The number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time, usually one second   Frequency  
🗑
The emission of electrons from a metal when light shines on the metal   Photoelectric effect  
🗑
The minimum quantity of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom   Quantum  
🗑
A particle of electromagnetic radiation having zero mass and carrying a quantum of energy   Photon  
🗑
The lowest energy state of an atom   Ground state  
🗑
A state in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state   Excited state  
🗑
When a narrow beam of the emitted light is shined through a prism, it separates into specific colors of the visible spectrum, producing this   Emission-line spectrum  
🗑
The emission of a continuous range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation   Continuous spectrum  
🗑
It is impossibl3 to determine simultaneously both the position and the velocity of an electron or any other particle   Heisenburg uncertainty principle  
🗑
A theory that mathematically describes the wave properties of electrons and other very small particles   Quantum theory  
🗑
A three-dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probably location of an electron   Orbital  
🗑
Numbers that specify the properties of atomic orbitals and properties of electrons in orbitals   Quantum numbers  
🗑
Symbolized by n, indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron   Principle quantum number  
🗑
Symbolized by l, indicates the shape of the orbital   Angular momentum quantum number  
🗑
Symbolized by m, indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus   Magnetic quantum number  
🗑
Has only two values (+1/2 or -1/2), indicates the two fundamental spin states of an electron in an orbital   Spin quantum number  
🗑
The arrangement of electrons in an atom   Electron configuration  
🗑
An electron occupies the lowest-energy orbital that can receive it   Aufbau principle  
🗑
No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers   Pauli exclusion principle  
🗑
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 state   Hund's rule  
🗑
The Group 18 elements (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon)   Noble gases  
🗑
An outer main energy level occupied, in most cases, by eight electrons   Noble-gas configuration  
🗑
