True/False

The fixed energies an electron can have is called Energy Levels

True

100

200
what is light quanta

photon

200

what is the term for describing the probability of finding an electron in various locations around the nucleus?

atomic orbital

200

What is planks constant? (number and label!)

6.626 x 10-34 J * s

300

Using the shortcut, what is the electron configuration for I?

[Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p5

300

what is it called when an electron has its lowest possible energy?

ground state

300

True/False

The wavelength required to change energy level is frequency

False

it is the number of wave cycles to pass a given point per unit of time.

300
What is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

states it is impossible to know both velocity + position of a particle at the same time.

400

using the shortcut, what is the electron configuration for Pr?

[Xe] 6s2 4f3

400

what is the amount of energy required to move an electron to from one energy level to another energy level.

quantum

400

name the principle that states an atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons.

Pauli Exclusion Principle

400

why do fireworks emit light?

goes from excited state ---> ground state.

500

using the shortcut, what is the electron configuration for Os?

[Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d6

500

what is the principle for electrons occupying the orbitals of lowest energy first?

aufbau principle

500

what is Hund's Rule

Electrons occupy orbitals of the same energy in a way that makes the number of electrons with the same spin direction as large as possible.(they don't want to spin the same way within an orbital)

500

Describe classical mechanics vs. quantum mechanics.

classical mechanics- motions of bodies much larger than atoms

quantum mechanics- motions of subatomic particles +atoms as waves
