Light & Waves
The distance between corresponding points on a wave.
What is wavelength?
This scientist proposed a model where electrons move in circular orbits around the nucleus.
Who is Niels Bohr?
This quantum number indicates the size and major energy level of an orbital.
What is n?
The wavelength of yellow light (590 nm) is equal to this many meters.
What is 5.9 x 10-7 m?
This unit is used to measure frequency and is equivalent to one wave per second.
What is a Hertz (or s−1)?
This term describes a 3-D region around an atom that indicates the probable location of an electron.
What is an orbital?
The number of individual orbitals found in any 'p' sublevel.
What is three?
This is the electron configuration for an atom of C.
What is 1s22s22p2?
List the colors of the visible spectrum in order from longest wavelength to shortest.
What are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (ROY G BIV)?
He stated that energy is not continuous but is lost or gained in specific quantities called "quanta."
Who is Max Planck?
This rule explains that orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one electron before any pairing occurs.
What is Hund’s Rule?
The Noble Gas configuration [Ne]3s23p5 represents this element.
What is chlorine?
As wavelength increases, these two properties of a wave must decrease.
What are frequency and energy?
These three scientists are credited with developing the Modern Quantum Mechanical Model in the mid-1920s.
Who are deBroglie, Schrödinger, and Heisenberg?
The number of orientations for a d sublevel.
What is five?
The wavelength associated with a frequency of 1.5 x 103 hz.
What is 200,000 m?
What wave on the Electromagnetic Radiation Chart has the highest frequency and shortest wavelength?
What are Gamma rays?
These specific energy spectrums are produced when excited photons are emitted at certain wavelengths.
What is an emission spectrum?
This principle states that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
This is the noble gas configuration for an atom of tungsten (W).
What is [Xe]6s24f145d4?
