Ch301 Test #1 Ep 5-8 Flashcards
What is the photo electric effect
Shining light (usually UV) onto metal surface in vacuum could cause e- to be ejected from metal surface if it’s on or above the metals threshold frequency
What is the work function
Amount of E required to remove ONE e- from metals surface in a vacuum
always a small amount of E no matter the metal
If hv<Φ
Then there is not enough E to remove an e- from the metal
If hv> Φ
Then there is enough E to remove an e- from the metal in the vacuum
What happens if you increase the brightness of the light
PE
Ejects more electrons but they have the same KE as b4
What happens if you increase the freuqncy (hertz) of the light?
Same number of electrons are ejected but with a higher KE
Einstein explanation of light
Light acts like tiny particles or wave packets, each packet ejected one e-
Einstein is wrong and right because light doesn’t only behave like a particle
What’s is the relationship w E of light and frequency
Higher frequency means the light particle has more E
Which has greater E
Red or blue light
Blue light
Ephoton equation
Ephoton = Φ + KEelctron
In the PE effect high E photons can do what?
Remove an e- from almost anythang whether in a vacuum or not
Wave particle duality
Energy waves can also be energy particles
Louis Debroglie theory
Matter particles can also be matter waves
Debroglie equation
λ=h/mV
Schrödinger theory
Created math model that treats e- as waves instead of particles,
A standing matter wave around the nucleus
Each following subshell has higher E than before
What’s do Energies tell us(Schrödinger equaiton)
E of e-
What do wave functions tell us?(Schrödinger equation)
Tell us probability of finding the e- at a given position
What are the regions in space e- are found
Orbitals
Can we ever know exactly where e- are?
No but we can find probability of finding e- at any given distance from the nucleus
S orbital shape
One big circle
P orbital shape
2 half circles
D orbitals shape
4 quarter circles
Graph of likelihood of finding the e- vs the distance from the nucleus is called…
Radial distribution function
