100

A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space.

What is electromagnetic radiation?

100

The letters of the shell sublevels.

What are s, p, d, and f orbitals?

100

A measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract e-.

What is electronegativity?

100

Electrons fill the lowest energy orbital first.

What is Aufbau principle?


100
The energy required to remove one e- from a neutral atom of an element.

What is ionization energy?

200

A unit of distance for measuring waves

What is wavelength?

200

An abbreviated way to write electron configurations - uses the symbol of the prior noble gas.

What is noble gas notation?

200

The trend of electronegativity as it moves UP a group and RIGHT in a period.

What is increases?

200

Orbitals of equal energy each get 1 e- before any orbital gets a second pair.

What is Hund's rule?

200

Positive charge - due to having lost e-, tend to be metals.

Cation

300

The relationship between wavelength and frequency.

What is inverse? (wavelength increases, frequency decreases)

300

The element is Mg.

What is 1s22s22p63s2?

300

The bond when the difference in electronegativity is greater than 2.

What is ionic bond?

300

No two e- in the same atom can have the same set of quantum numbers (energy, shape, orientation, and spin).

What is Pauli exclusion pinciple?

300

Negative charge - due to having gained e-, tend to be nonmetals.

What is anion?

400

The relationship between frequency and energy.

What is a direct relationship? (freqency increases, energy increases)

400

The electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d8.

What is Ni (nickle)?

400

The difference in electronegativity is between 0.5 and 2.

What is polar covalent bonds?

400

As the atomc number increases, the nuclear attraction for e- increases, thus pulling the e- in more tightly to the nucleus.

What is Coulomb's Law?
400

Tends to increase as you move DOWN a group and move LEFT in a period.

What is atomic radius?

500

The color in the visible spectrum with the highest energy, highest frequency, and shortest wavelength.

What is violet light?

500

The electron configuration using noble-gas notation for the element Tungsten (W).

What is [Xe] 6s24f145d4?

500

The difference of electronegativity and the type of bond predicted between carbon and clorine.

What is a difference of electronegativity of 0.61 and a polar covalent bond.

500

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

What is Heisenberg uncertainty principle?

500

An electron moves from the 2nd energy level to the 4th. Would this be considered absorption or emission of energy?

What is absorption? (it takes energy to move up energy levels, so energy must be absorbed)
