Atom theory

Question 1

What is the relationship between frequency and energy of radiation from an atom?

Answer 1

radiation energy is directly proportional to frequency of radiation from the atom

Question 2

What is the relationship between the angular momentum of an electron and the principal quantum number (n)?

Answer 2

directly prooportional

E=hf

Question 3

What is the relationship between the energy of an electron and the principal quantum number (n)?

Answer 3

E increases exponentially as n increases.

Question 4

what is the ground state?

Answer 4

each of the electrons are in their lowest possible energy level

Question 5

what is the excited state?

Answer 5

energy is added and the outermost electron is moved up an energy level

Question 6

What is the difference in stability of ground vs excited state?

Answer 6

the excited state is unable, so the electron will eventually return to the more stable ground state

Question 7

What is the relationship between the energy of an emitted photon and it’s wavelength?

Answer 7

energy is inversely proportional to wavelength - as wavelength increases, energy of photon decreases
E=hc/wavelength
