Question 1

Photoelectric effect

Answer 1

A photon of the correct amount of energy can cause an electron to gain energy or be completely removed from the atom’s orbit

Question 2

Energy Level

Answer 2

The space an electron is most likely to be found at a discrete amount of energy away from the nucleus given by the principal quantum number n=1,2,3,4,5, or 6

Question 3

Ionization Energy

Answer 3

Energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion

Question 4

Shell

Answer 4

Atomic orbitals with the same principal quantum number, or same energy level

Question 5

Subshell

Answer 5

Atomic orbitals designated by the letters s, p, d, or f

Question 6

Spectroscopy

Answer 6

The ecperimental process where excited electrons are detected by the wavelengths of light released as they return to the ground state

Question 7

Effective Nuclear Charge

Answer 7

Charge that leads to Coulomb force exerted by the nucleus on an electron, calculated as the nuclear charge minus shielding
