Ch3 Electrons In The Atom Flashcards
1
Q
Energy level
A
Fixed energy value that an electron in an atom may have
2
Q
Ground state
A
An atom is one in which the electrons occupy the lowest available energy levels
3
Q
Excited state
A
Where the electrons occupy higher energy levels than those available in the ground state
4
Q
Hesienbergs uncertainty principle
A
That it is impossible to measure at the same time both the velocity and position of an electron
5
Q
Orbital
A
A region in space within which there is a high probability of finding an electron
6
Q
Sublevel
A
Subdivision of a main energy level and consists of one or more orbitals of the same energy
