What is amplitude
100
Radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and x-rays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously.
What is electromagnetic radiation
100
Rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample.
What is frequency
100
Particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.
What is photon
100

Impossible to measure two properties of a quantum object, such as its position and momentum
What is Heisenberg uncertainty
principle
300
7 principal energy levels numbered n=1 to n=7 with n=1 closest to nucleus
What is principal energy level
300
Diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
What is electron dot diagram
400

What is electron-dot structure
400
Every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied.
What is Hunds rule
400
Discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents.
What is quantum
400
Number that occurs in the theoretical expression for the value of some quantized property of a subatomic particle, atom.
