How do isotopes differ from each other? Ions?

Isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons. Ions have different number of electrons.

100

What is the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy?

Wavelength is inversely related to frequency and energy. Frequency and energy are directly related.

Briefly describe the quantum numbers:

n l ml ms

*Hint: what do the numbers tell you about an electron's location?

n- shell

l - shape

ml- orbital

ms- spin direction

100

How do electrons fill up orbitals?

Electrons fill orbitals one at a time and in the same direction. If more electrons need to be placed, electrons fill in those orbitals in the opposite direction.

Briefly explain the atomic size trend. 

**Hint: What happens when you go down a column and move to the left on the periodic table?

Moving down a column: Gaining more rings

Left of the periodic table: Less outer electrons, less nuclear charge
