Q

Scattering of a photon by a charged particle, usually an electron

A

Compton Scattering

27
Q

Matter might also exhibit wave-like properties under suitable conditions

A

De Broglie Wavelength

28
Q

It states that “Any hot vibrating body does not emit nor absorb energy continuously, but discontinuously, in the form of small packets of quanta”

A

The Quantum Theory of Atoms

29
Q

It states that “ It is impossible to know exactly both the position and momentum of an electron or any other small particle simultaneously and accurately”

A

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

30
Q

It states that “Electrons behave as particles and waves”

A

Wave - particle duality

31
Q

It states that “Electrons revolved around the nucleus in elliptical orbits with different eccentricities of which Bohr’s circular is a special case”

A

Bohr -Sommerfield Theory

32
Q

Concluded that electrons behave more like waves than particles

A

Davisson - Germer Experiment

33
Q

The region in space around the nucleus where it is most probable to find an electron

A

Orbital

34
Q

Tells the

  1. Distance of an electron from the nucleus
  2. Energy of an electron in the orbit (energy levels)
A

Principal Quantum Number

35
Q

True or False

The larger the value ofthe principal quantum number, the farther is the electron from the nucleus

A

TRUE

36
Q

Tells the

  1. Shape of orbital
  2. Subshell position of electron
A

Azimuthal / Angular Quantum Numbers

37
Q

Tells about

  1. Orientation of orbitals in space
A

Magnetic Quantum Number

38
Q

Shows the spin of electrons

39
Q

Aufbau means

A

Filling up

40
Q

States that “the orbitals must be filled up in increasing energy levels”

A

Aufbau Principle

41
Q

States that “No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers and an atomic orbital must contain a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins”

A

Pauli’s Exclusion Principle

42
Q

States that

  1. The pairing up of electrons in an orbital of a subshell takes place only when all orbitals contain atleast on electron
  2. The most stable arrangement of electrons in subshells is the one with more parallel spins
A

Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity

43
Q

States that “The stablest structure is the one with carbon atom that has formal charge near to zero”

A

Kekule Rule of Resonance
