Chapter 2 review Flashcards
what is the quantum mechanical model?
explains how electrons exist and behave in atoms
what is electromagnetic radiation?
light that travels by waves
what is wavelength
measure of the distance covered by a wave
what is amplitude?
the height of the wave
what is the symbol for wavelength
lambda
what is color?
when all the wavelengths of light are not absorbed
what is frequency?
number of waves passing a given point per unit of time is the frequency
what relationship does frequency and wavelength have?
frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship
what is total energy proportional to?
the amplitude and frequency of the waves
if there is a large amplitude what happens to the force?
the force increases
what is the speed of light(c)
constant speed that all electromagnetic waves move through
what is the equation for c=
c = (wavelength)(frequency)
what does c equal
3.00 x10^8
what is the electromagnetic spectrum?
all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation
what are the colors of the spectrum
ROYGBV and it is in increasing order of frequency / decreasing length of wave
who was max planck?
discovered that energy of matter was not continuous
what is quanta?
discrete packets of light
what is quantized energy?
energy that can be lost or gained
what is the equation for quantized energy?
E = nhv
what does h equal (planck’s constant)
6.626x10-34
what did albert einstein do?
proposed that radiation was quantized by particles called photons
what are the 2 equations for photons?
Ephoton = Hv
E photon = Hc/ wavelength
what does a short wavelength mean?
high frequency and high energy
what is threshold frequency?
the minimum frequency required before electrons would emit intensity
what is the KEelectron equation
1/2mv^2=hv-hV0
what did louis de brogile theorized
if light can have material properties matter should exhibit wave properties
-predicted that the wavelength of inversely proportional to its momentum
what does wavelength =
lambda = h/mv
what is interference
the interacton between waves
what is constructive interference
when waves interact so that they add to make a larger wave
what is destructive interference?
when waves interact so they cancel each other it is
what is diffraction?
when traveling waves encounter an obstacle or opening in a barrier that is about the same size as the wavelength an they bend around it
what are complimentary properties?
only one aspect of wave or particle can be obserbed
both can never be observed at the same time
what is a spectrum?
common radiation source that contains many different wavelength components
what is a continuous spectrum?
when light is produced through a prism
what is a line spectrum
discrete wavelengths is observed
what is atomic emission?
different gases emit light of different characterisitc colors upon excitation by electrical discharge
what is a flame test?
used to identify the presence of certain elements, primarily group 1 metal ions
who created the bohr model
niels bohr
what does the bohr model explain
where the electrons are and how the atom changes when it undergoes energy transitions
what are stationary states?
electrons travel in orbits that are fixed distance from the nucleus
what happens when attraction goes up?
the energies are more negative
what happens when n goes up
attraction goes down
how do we calculate the energy level of n
En = -2.18x10^-18J (1/n^2)
what is the formula to find the change in electron?
change in energy level = -2.18x10^-18J(1/nf)^2-(1/(ni)^2
