4.7 x 10^-19 J
300
What does the Heisenberg uncertainty principle state?
It is fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time.
300

2
300
Write abbreviated electron configuration for phosphorus
[Ne] 3s2 3p3
400
How would you calculate the wavelength of light, given the frequency and speed?
Speed of light = wavelength x frequency, so to find the wavelength, you take the speed of light divided by the frequency.
400

What is the photoelectric effect?

The photoelectric effect occurs when photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency hits on the surface.

400
What is an orbital? What are the different orbitals associated with an atom?
An orbital is a 3-d region around the nucleus which describes the electron's probable location; s,p,d,f orbitals
400
What does Hund's rule state?
Single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal-energy orbital BEFORE additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy the same orbital.
400

What are the four quantum numbers for Carbon

n=1 l=1 mi=0 mS=+1/2

500
An x-ray has a wavelength of 2.6 x 10 ^-10 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
1.15 x 10^18 Hz
500

How can you use atomic emission spectra to determine if an element is part of an unknown compound?

Each element has its own set of frequencies emitted by the atoms of the element. No two elements have the same frequencies emitted. You could determine the elements in a compound by comparing the unknown frequencies to those of known elements.

500

What does the principal energy level tell you? (It's the number to start electron configuration..ie: 1s....2s....3p...

The orbital size and the distance it is from the nucleus.

500
How do you use noble gases to shorthand electron configuration?
Use bracketed symbols of noble gas that is prior to your element and proceed from the noble gas with the rest of the electron configuration.
