Electron configurations
100

When an electron is promoted to a higher energy level it is in what state? Did it absorb or emit energy?

Excited state - Absorption

100

Which wave would be travelling at a greater speed - Gamma rays or x-rays?

Neither!

100

Bohr thought electrons moved in _______________ and Schrodinger thought they moved in _____________

orbits - orbitals

100
3D region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron

Orbital

100

Electrons will occupy their lowest energy level possible

Aufbau Principle

200

When an electron drops to a lower energy level than it was in previously. Did it absorb or emit energy?

Relaxed state - Emission

200

Determine the amount of energy that is found in an infrared wave with a frequency of 7.89 x 1014 Hz

5.23 x 10-19 J

200

What is the main issue with Bohr's model when compared to Schrodinger's?

It didn't account for the uncertainty of where electrons could be (Bohr said there was a definite space they would be in)

200

Indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron

Principal Quantum Number

200
2 electrons cannot have the same set of quantum numbers - due to this electrons have different spins

Pauli Exclusion Principle 

300

What we see as a result of electrons moving through energy levels (being promoted then relaxing down)

Line Emission Spectra

300

Determine the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 5.94 x 10-2 nm.

5.05 x 1018 Hz

300

His equations gave wave functions that give the probability of finding an electron in a given location.

Schrodinger

300

Exhibiting behavior of waves and particles

Dual-wave particle nature

300

One electron must be placed in each orbital of equal energy before they are able to be paired 

Hund's Rule

400

The distance between the same spot on a wave

Wavelength

400

Determine the wavelength and energy that is created from a wave with a frequency of 1.95 x 109 Hz.

0.154 m and 1.29 x 10-24 J


400

Linked hydrogen atom's electrons with photon emission

Bohr
400

It is impossible to determine simultaneously the position and velocity of an electron or other particles

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

400

How many electrons can an energy level of n = 5 hold?

2n^2 so 2*52 so 50 

500

Which would have a higher energy - 1000 mm or 1.0 m?

Neither they would have the same!

500

Determine the type of wave that is present with an energy of 5.923 x 10-20 KJ.

Infrared

500

He realized that atoms and molecules only emit energies in certain quantities called quanta

Max Plank

500

A mathematical way to describe the wave properties of electrons and other small particles

Schrodinger Wave Equation

500

Why do some configurations differ from those we expect?

want to reach a more stable energy configuration so they promote an electron from another orbital (s) to fulfill their needs
