Q

Hydrogen in an excited state

A

emits a photon to return to a lower energy state

17
Q

Hydrogen only emits

A

Certain colors of visible light when it releases a photon

18
Q

We only see

A

Selected colors, not those that give off white light.

19
Q

Hydrogen has discrete

A

energy levels that are quantized

20
Q

Every hydrogen

A

Falls in the same ways and gives off the same light.

21
Q

Hydrogens energy levels are quantized
What does quantized mean

A

A set of steps, only certain values are allowed.

22
Q

Bohr model
Only works for
Is it correct

A

Electrons orbit the nucleus
Different orbits equal different energy levels
Hydrogen
No

23
Q

Wave mechanical model

A

Electrons do not orbit the nucleus
Predicts the probability of finding an electron at given points around the nucleus.

24
Q

With the wave mechanical model location of electrons is shown using a

A

Probability map.

25
Q

Orbital
Do they have exact size
Contains

A

Probability map of an electron
No
90% total electron probability

26
Q

Principle energy levels

A

Discrete energy levels electrons can occupy
Lower number lower energy
Lower number less distance from nucleus/closer

27
Q

Each energy level can be divided into
More energy =

A

Sub levels
More sub levels

28
Q

What are the 4 sub levels

A

S p d f

29
Q

How many orbitals are in each sub level
How many electrons per orbital

A

S 1
P 3
D 5
F 7
2 electrons per orbital

30
Q

Number of sublevels ____ number of energy levels

A

Equals

31
Q

What is the shape of each orbital

A

S sphere
P Dumbell
D Clover
F Hard to visualize

32
Q

Electrons want to be
Electrons have

A

As close to nucleus as possible
Spin

33
Q

Wave mechanical model can be applied

A

To all atoms

34
Q

Pauli Exclusion Principle-

A

2 electrons can occupy an orbital only if they have opposite spin

35
Q

Electron configuration

A

The way electrons are arranged around the nucleus Predicts

36
Q

Ionization energy
More attraction

A

Energy required to remove outermost electron
Harder to remove

37
Q

What does the atomic mass on the periodic table represent

A

weighted average mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element
