1.3 - Electron Configurations Flashcards
What is the continuous spectrum?
All wavelengths of visible light.
Describe the absorption spectrum.
Black lines on coloured background.
Describe the emission line spectrum.
Coloured lines on black background.
Describe the hydrogen emission spectrum.
Converges at high energy levels.
What does the hydrogen emission spectrum show?
Electrons transition energy levels by either absorbing or emitting photons. It serves as proof for discrete energy levels.
Draw the complete emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom.
Define orbital.
An atomic orbital is a region of space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.
Draw an S orbital.
Draw a P orbital.
What is the electron configuration of Cr?
[Ar] 4s1 3d5
What is the electron configuration of Cu?
[Ar] 4s1 3d10
What do large increases in ionisation energy indicate?
Group of element.
When do coloured solutions form?
Coloured solutions form when electrons can transition/absorb certain wavelengths of visible light, between energy levels in partially filled split d orbitals.
