This is the distance from crest to crest
What is wavelength?
The unit for frequency
What is Hertz (Hz)?
The lowest allowable energy state of an atom.
What is ground state?
This principle states that electrons occupy the lowest energy orbital available.
What is the Aufbau Principle?
Draw the Lewis dot structure for Selenium
Se with two pairs and two single dots
The longer the wavelength, the _______ the frequency
What is lower?
The minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom.
What is a quantum (photon)?
When atoms of an element gains energy, they move to a higher energy state, also known as this
What is an excited state?
Between 3d and 4s, this orbital has a higher energy.
What is 3d?
This wavelength type has the lowest energy associated with it
What are radio waves?
this is demonstrated by ROYGBIV
What is the order of visible light from lowest energy to highest (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet)
This idea states that it is fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time.
What is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
This is the maximum number of electrons in an atomic orbital
What is 2?
This is the equation for the speed of light
What is c=(wavelength) x v
This occurs when photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface.
What is the photoelectric effect?
This is the order of orbitals within a principle energy level from lowest energy to highest.
What is s-p-d-f?
This idea states Single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal-energy orbital BEFORE additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy the same orbital.
What is Hund's Rule?
This type of wave is associated with the highest amount of energy.
What are Gamma Rays?
The name of the NON-continuous spectrum emitted by an element that is unique to each element and can be used to identify it
What is the emission spectrum?
This tells you the size and distance from the nucleus of an orbital
What is the principal energy level?
These are the only elements allowed to be used as "shortcuts" when writing electron configurations.
What are noble gases?
