8.38x1014 Hz

500

What do each of the 4 quantum numbers represent? How many of these are shown with energy level diagrams?

Principle: Energy Level

Second: Sublevel

500

What is wrong with the following electron dot diagram?

The dots are on the corners of the symbol instead of the sides.

500

According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, what 2 things are impossible to know at the same time?

Position and Velocity

500

How does an electron give off light?

An electron can “jump” to a different orbital, putting the atom into an excited state. It cannot stay there and must fall back down. When it falls, it releases the energy as light.
