100

Describe the mathematical relationship of wavelength, frequency, and energy.

As wavelength increases, frequency and energy decrease

(wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency and energy)

(frequency and energy are proportional)

200

When will an atom emit a photon?

When an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level (closer to the nucleus). The energy of the photon emitted will be equal to the difference in quantized energy levels the electron moved.

200

# of orbitals in the 3rd energy level (n=3)

9 orbitals (s contains 1, p contains 3, and d contains 5)

300

What is the difference between a continuous, emission, and absorption spectra?

continuous: whole spectrum of color (ROYGBIV)

emission: shows only the wavelengths (lines) of light emitted by an element/compound

absorption: Inverse of emission spectrum shows all colors except those emitted by the

Draw the shapes of the s, p, d, and f

Lithium shows the photoelectric effect at a wavelength of 432 nm. What is the mass of this photon?

5.11x10-36 kg

400

The number of electrons in n=4 energy level

32 e- (2 from s, 6 from p, 10 from d, 14 from f)


there's an equation for this
