Chapter 10 modern atomic theory, and periodic table Flashcards
Protons and what are nearly equal in mass?
Neutrons
The mass number of an atom is the total of what?
Protons and neutrons
Average atomic mass is the average mass of the what?
Isotopes of an element, and reflects the relative abundance of each isotope as it occurs in nature 
Colors of the rainbow, abbrev
The visible portion of the spectrum is really what?
Roy G Biv 
All the colors of the rainbow combined
What is the wave length?
Distance from crest of one wave to crest of the next
What is the frequency?
The number of waves that pass a particular point each second
What is the waves speed?
Distance a wave moves in a certain period of time
What are photons
Energy bundles, or packets
What is Thompson’s plum putting model?
Electrons exist throughout the atom along with the positive particles (protons)
Thompson compared the particles in the atom to the dried fruits in plum pudding, randomly dispersed
What is Neil Bohr’s planetary model?
Electrons are found at certain distances from the nucleus in allowable ENERGY LEVELS
Bohr believed electrons revolved around the nucleus in the same way as planets, orbit of the sun.
Bohr’s planetary model included what four things
One studied the line spectrum of hydrogen. Theorized each line corresponds to an energy transition for the electron in a hydrogen.
Two. When atoms absorb energy electrons move to higher energy levels -excited state.
Three LOWEST ENERGY STATEFOR A PARTICULAR ELECTION IS KNOWN AS GROUND STATE
Four When excited electrons return to ground state, they give off light of characteristic color, unique wavelength, and frequency as seen on emission spectra

What is quanticized
Electron restricted to only certain allowed energies
What is ground state?
Bohrs lowest energy level
What is line spectrum?
Shows frequency of light energy emitted when electron has absorbed energy falls from higher energy level to lower energy
What is quanta?
Planck states energy never emitted in continuous stream, but only small, discreet packets quanta means how much
What is the wave model work of the de Broglie and Schrodinger?
One it’s our current model of the atom
Two de Broglie proposed that we should treat electrons as waves as well as particles
Three  Schrodinger used math to calculate the probability or chance of finding an electron in a certain region outside the nucleus
What is orbital?
Most probable location for an electron in electron cloud
What is principal energy level?
Most probable DISTANCE of electron from nucleus
