Question
Answer
electron-dot structure   Element's symbol surrounded by dots represents valence electrons. (counter-clockwise)  
🗑
valence electrons   The electrons in an atom's outermost orbitals; determine the chemical properties of an element. (determined vertically)  
🗑
principal quantum number   assigned by the quantum mechanical model to indicate the relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals. (n)  
🗑
principal energy level   7 major energy levels of an atom  
🗑
energy sublevels   energy levels in a principal energy level. (spdf)  
🗑
electron configuration   The arrangement of electrons in an atom.  
🗑
aufbau principle   states that each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available. (no elevator, don't want to drag stuff upstairs)  
🗑
Pauli exclusion principle   states that a max of two electrons can occupy a single atomic orbital, but only if the electrons have opposite spins.  
🗑
Hund's rule   (everyone gets their own room before you start doubling up.)  
🗑
electromagnetic radiation   wavelike energy. Described by wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed.  
🗑
wavelength   the shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave. expressed in " "-meters. (radiation from microwave harming baby)  
🗑
frequency   the number of waves that pass a given point per second. (nu)  
🗑
amplitude   height of wave from origin to crest of origin to trough.  
🗑
electromagnetic spectrum   (radio waves, microwaves,infrared,ultraviolet,x rays,gamma rays)  
🗑
quantum   the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom.  
🗑
Planck's constant   6.626*10-34 J*s, J is joule.(sounds like Plank)  
🗑
photoelectric effect   photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines on it. (metal tables blinding you)  
🗑
photon   a massless particle that carries a quantum of energy.  
🗑
atomic emission spectrum   a set of frequencies of electromagnetic waves given off by atoms of an element; consists of a series of fine lines of individual colors.  
🗑
ground state   the lowest allowable energy state of an atom.  
🗑
quantum number   the number assigned to each orbit of an electron.  
🗑
de Broglie equation   predicts that all moving particles have wave characteristics and relates each particle's wavelength to its freguency, its mass, and Planck's constant.  
🗑
Heisenberg uncertainty principle   it is impossible to know both velocity and position of a particle at the same time.  
🗑
quantum mechanical model of the atom   atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves.  
🗑
atomic orbital   3-D region around the nucleus of an atom that describes an electron's probable location.  
🗑


   

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.
