Emitted 

300

What is the Aufbau Principle?

Rule stating electrons fill lowest energy first.

300

Which experiences greater Zeff: Na or Cl? Why?

Cl, it has more protons with the same amount of shielding.

400

What is the wavelength (in nm) of radiation that has a frequency of 5.50 x 1014 s-1?

545 nm

What is electron affinity, and which element has the more negative affinity: Br or Se? 

Electron Affinity: The energy change when an electron is added to an atom. It measures the attraction/affinity of the atom for the electron. 

Br
