We say light has a "dual nature" or "duality" what are the two things in that duo?

light nature and particle nature

100

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength for any wave?

inversely proportional

100

What is the principle quantum number of an electron in a p shaped orbital, in the 3rd energy level, in the x-plane of space, with a +1/2 spin?

3 (principle quantum number is just the energy level!)

100

Electron configurations are typically written for atoms in what state?

ground state, lowest energy levels filled

100

As an electron goes from a higher energy level to a lower one, we say energy will be ________

emitted

200

Describe frequency in concept and common units.

How many waves pass a point in a certain time, often described in Hertz, which means 'per second'

200

Energy of a wave is directly proportional to...

frequency

200

What angular quantum number (l) goes with the d (clover) shape?

2

200

Draw an orbital-style electron configuration for neutral sulfur.

(Should have 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s all full, then one set of paired electrons in 3s and two singles)

200

An electron always fills lower energy level orbitals first.  Name the law/rule/principle.

Aufbau Principle

300

Describe the speed the different kinds of electromagnetic radiation (x-rays vs. radio vs. visible light etc)

all the same, represented c, 3.00 x 108 m/s

300

If an electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 6,000 Hz, what is its wavelength?

50,000 m

300

How many different sublevels are in the 3rd energy shell of atoms?

3 (s, p, and d)

300

What element would have this ground state configuration?

[Ar]3d104s24p5

Bromine

300

Split up electrons within a sublevel before going back to pair them up. Name the rule/law/principle.

Hunds Rule

400

When a sufficient frequency of light hits a metal within a charged space, what happens? What is this phenomena called?

electrons are ejected and pulled toward the positive, photoelectric effect

400

If an electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 5.6 x 1012 Hz, what is the energy of a photon of that light?

3.7 x 10-21 J

400

As you go from s to p to d to f, what happens to the number of orbitals per sublevel within a shell?

add 2!

1 s orbital

3 p orbitals

5 d orbitals

7 f orbitals

400

Write out a complete electron configuration for strontium.

1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p65s2

400

No two electrons have all 4 of the same quantum numbers.  Name the rule/law/principle.

Pauli Exclusion Principle

500

Describe why different elements have different emission spectra.

There are different 'differences' between their energy levels electrons can be in, different 'jumps' in energy go with different wavelengths/colors.

ie: Some elements have a different pull on their electrons, resulting in ....

500

If a certain light has a wavelength of 650 nm, what is the energy of a photon of that light?

3.1 x 10-19 J

500

There are 3p orbitals per sublevel (that have p orbitals).  How are those three orbitals different from one another?

orientations (magnetic quantum number, m)

500

Explain why we fill 4s orbitals before 3d.

Even though the 4s orbital is in a higher energy level(shell), the 4s orbital actually has a slightly lower energy than 3d, and we always fill lower energy orbitals first

500

Name three ions that are isoelectric to neutral Argon.
