Question
Answer
Electromagnetic Radiation   Form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space  
🗑
Electromagnetic Spectrum   All of the frequencies or wavelenghts of electromagnetic radiation  
🗑
Wavelength   The distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave  
🗑
Frequency   The number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time; also the number of waves produced in a given amount of time  
🗑
Photoelectric effect   The emission of electrons from a material when light of certain frequencies shines on the surface of the material  
🗑
Quantum   The basic unit of electromagnetic energy =; it characterizes the wave properties of electrons  
🗑
Photon   A unit or quantum of light; a particle of electromagnetic radiation that has zero rest mass and carries a quantum of energy  
🗑
Ground state   The lowest energy state of a quantized system  
🗑
Excited State   A state in which an atom has more energy that it does at its ground state  
🗑
Line emission spectrum   A diagram or graph that indicates the degree to which a substance emits radiant energy with respect to wavelength  
🗑
Continous Spectrum   The uninterrupted bond band of al colors ( wavelenths) emmited by incandescent solids  
🗑
Heisenberg Uncertaintainty principle   The principle that states that determining both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle simultaneously is impossible  
🗑
Quantum Theory   The study of the structure and behavior of the atom and of subatomic particles from the view that all energy comes in tiny, indivisible bundles  
🗑
Orbital   A region in an atom where there is a high probabibility of finding electron  
🗑
Quantum Number   A number that specifies certain properties of electons  
🗑
Prinicipal Quantum number   The quantum that indicates the energy and orbital  
🗑
Angular momentum quantum number   The quantum number that indicates the shape of an orbital  
🗑
Magnetic Quantum number   The quantum number that corresponds to the alighnment of the angular momentum component with a magnetic field  
🗑
Spin Quantum number   The quantum number that describes the intrinsic angular momentum of a particle  
🗑
Electron Configuration   The arrangement of electrons in an atom  
🗑
Aufbau principle   The principle that states that the structure of each sucessful element is obtained by adding one proton to the nucleus of the atom and one electron to the lowest energy orbital that is orbital  
🗑
Pauli Exclusion principle   The principle that states that two particles of a certain class cannot be in exactly the same energy state  
🗑
Hunds rule   The rule that states that states for an atom in the ground state, the number of unpaired eectron is the maximum possible and these unpaired electrons have the same spin  
🗑
Noble gas   One of the elements of group 18 of the peridical table (helium,neon,argon,krypton,xenon, and radon);noble gas are unreactive  
🗑
Noble gas onfiguration   An outer main energy level fully occupies, in most cases, by eight electron  
🗑
