Atomic Theory Flashcards
Electromagnetic Radiation
Energy transfer by light
Light travels as a
wave
frequency is
of peaks for a given amount of time
Different wavelengths mean
different colors
Quantized means
each atom gains and lose different set amounts of electrons
Bohr model
electrons orbit nucleus
Wave mechanical model
1) do not know how electrons move
2) know where they may be (probability)
Probability map
orbital
Types of Orbitals
s=2, p=6,d=10,f=14 electrons
shapes of orbitals
s=spherical, p=bowling pin, d=clover like, f= crazy shape
valence elctrons
electrons in the highest energy level
order is mixed up after
18 electrons
Ionization energy
energy to remove an electron. trend is to the right of periodic table and up
atomic size
to the left and down the periodic table
