What happens to wavelength and frequency as energy increases?

Wavelength decreases, frequency increases.

100

How many electrons at most can be held in one orbital?

2

100

Define atomic radius.

The distance from the nucleus of an atom to the valence shell.

100

This type of electromagnetic radiation is slightly higher energy than visible light.

Ultraviolet

100

What are the chances of flipping a coin and getting heads twice?

25%

200

What term refers to a waves ability to remove electrons from atoms or molecules?

Ionizing or Ionization

200

A d-sublevel has how many orbitals?

5

200

The tendency of an element to attract electrons from another element is called:

Electronegativity

200

When light travels between different mediums and bends, what is this called?

Refraction

200

What is the primary language spoken in Brazil?

Portuguese

300

When electrons fall from an excited state back to their ground state, they release energy as light. What are these light particles called?

Photons
300

What rule states that orbitals within a sublevel must be half-filled before doubling up?

Hund's Rule

300
What element on the periodic table has the highest metallic character?

Francium

300

What is the distance between the baseline and crest of a wave called?

Amplitude


300

What is the capital of South Korea?

Seoul

400
What formula is used in applications of nuclear fission or fusion to approximate the amount of energy that can be released from an object?

The Mass-Energy Equivalence equation

E = m*c2

400

Within an orbital, why do we write the two electron arrows like this?

↿⇂

The electrons within an orbital spin in opposite of each other.

400

Explain why Chlorine has a higher ionization energy than Phosphorus.

Chlorine has a higher effective nuclear charge because it has the same # of energy levels as Phosphorus but more protons in the nucleus.

400

Under what circumstances is an element paramagnetic?

At least one electron is unpaired.

400

What is one of the countries that Mr. Landes is traveling to next summer?

Poland, Czech Republic, and Hungary

500

Why do electrons eventually fall back to their ground state from an excited state?

Lower energy levels are more stable, so an electron will eventually fall back down to the most stable energy level that is available.

500

What type of electrons are repelled by a magnetic field?

Diamagnetic

500

What are two ways that effective nuclear charge can be decreased?

Increase the # of energy levels or decrease the number of protons.

500

Explain what the units for frequency are and what they mean.

Hertz or sec-1

These correspond with how often something occurs "per second". In the context of waves, it is how many times a wave passes a certain point per second.
