100

Most of an atom’s mass and all of its positive charge are in the ______.

nucleus

100

T/F: Some atoms give off light when their electrons move from excited states down to lower states of energy.

False

100

____ _____ have full outer levels of electrons.

Noble gases

200

A graphic showing where all the electrons in an atom are located with all quantum numbers indicated

orbital diagram

200

The Greek symbol for frequency is ___, the symbol for wavelength is ___.

nu (ν) and lambda (λ)

200

What main energy level (n) would an electron be on if the energy level has 4 sublevels?

n = 4

200

This states that electrons occupy lowest energy levels before filling higher ones.

The aufbau principle

300

the number of waves that pass a given point in 1 second

frequency

300

T/F: In reference to an electromagnetic wave, when wavelength goes up, frequency goes down. 

True

300

The third sublevel of a main energy level has _____ orbitals and can hold _____ electrons.

5, 10

300

This states that a maximum of two electrons can occupy a single orbital.

The Pauli exclusion principle

400

massless particles, each carrying a single quantum of energy

photons

400

T/F: Matter can only absorb energy in natural number increments of 1hv, 2hv, 3hv, etc.

True

400

Bohr is to orbits as Schrodinger is to _____. 

orbitals

400

What is the electron configuration of sulfur (16) in noble gas notation?

[Ne] 3s² 3p⁴

500

The statement that every orbital within a sublevel gets an electron of the same spin before any orbital gets a second with opposing spin

Hund's rule

500

The speed (c) of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum

3.00 x 10m/s

500

This states that it is fundamentally impossible to know both the precise location and velocity of a particle (like and electron) at the same time because you disturb it whenever you measure it.

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle

500
