What is the range of 750nm-380nm called?
The visible light spectrum
How is the Bohr model typically described?
The solar system/ planet model. Electrons orbiting the nucleus.
How is the quantum model different than the bohr model?
electrons are actually found in regions that can be determined mathematically rather than a fixed point around the nucleus.
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
Means that there can be no 2 electrons that occupy the same space so they must have opposite spins.
What is the electron configuration for Nitrogen?
1s22s22p3
Which color has a shorter wavelength? Red or Blue?
Blue
According to the Bohr model how many electrons can be in n=1; n=2; n=3?
2, 8, 8
What are the 4 Quantum numbers?
Principle quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, magnetic quantum number, and spin projection.
What is the Aufbau principle?
Electrons must occupy all the lower energy shells before moving up to the next energy shell.
What is the noble gas configuration for Ne
(Ne)
How are wavelength and frequency related?
As wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.
Which shell has a higher energy level? n=2 or n=4?
How is the integer designation of the azimuthal quantum number found? Ex. What is the azimuthal quantum number for n=3? What is its letter designation?
l=n-1 so l=2 which is d.
What is hunds rule?
One electron in each sub orbital before filling up the rest.
What is the electron configuration for Nickel?
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d8
Light exists in what form?
Both waves and particles
Describe what happens when a photon hits an electron in a particular element.
The electron is excited and moves up an energy shell. However, the electron doesn't stay excited for long and ends up moving back down to its ground state. This emits a particular wavelength of light.
What does the magnetic quantum number tell us about the electron?
The shape and orientation of the electron within its subshell.
What element is this orbital diagram for? 
Sulfur
What is the electron configuration for Chromium?
1s22s22p63s23p64s13d10
What is the equation that relates photons with wavelength? What is it called?
E=hf ; plancks relation
Define Spectroscopy
the science of identifying elements based on their particular spectrum of light that is emitted after photons excite electrons in that element.
If I am referring to n=3, what are the subshell names within this energy shell? Ex. n=1 is 1s
3d, 3p, 3s
Why is there an exception to the Aufbau principle with some elements in the d orbital?
Because in some elements it is more energetically favorable for the electrons in the d orbital to be filled, so it steals an extra electron from the s orbital.
Why are noble gases considered perfectly stable elements and the reason we use them for condensed electron configurations?
Because they have all of their shells filled with electrons. Energetically stable.
