What is the principal quantum number (principal energy level)
100
A particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy.
What is a photon
100
The highest part of the wave
What is the crest
100
It's fundamentally impossible to know precisely both velocity and position of a particle at the same time.
What is the Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle
200

300
Diagram that helps write the electron configuration
What is the arrow diagram
300

What is the ground state
300
Distance between two equal distances on a wave (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc)
What is the wavelength
300
The maximum of two electrons may occupy a single orbital, but only if the electrons have opposite spins

Photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface
What is the photoelectric effect
400
The distance from the midpoint to the crest and from the midpoint to the trough
What is amplitude
400
Single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal-energy orbital before additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy the same orbital
