Chapter 3 arrangement of electrons Flashcards
Emission line spectrum
A series of lines emitted when an electric current is passed through a gas ( hydrogen ,sodium mercury)
Colors given off by metals : 1= lithium 2= potassium 3= barium 4= strontium 5= copper 6= sodium
1= crimson 2= lilac 3= green 4= red 5= blue-green 6= yellow
Energy value
defined as the fixed energy value that an electron in an atom may have
Ground state
of an atom is one in which the electrons occupy the lowest available energy levels
Excited state
of an atom is one in which the electrons occupy higher energy levels than available in the ground state
E2 - E1 = hf ( meaning)
E2 = higher energy level , E1= lower energy level , h= planck’s constant , f= frequency of light emitted
Atomic absorption spectrometry (aas)
dark lines against a colored background ( opp. of emission spec.)
Uses of AAS
forensic science eg gunshot residue
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principal
that it is impossible to measure at the same time both the velocity and position of an electron
Orbital =
region in space where it is highly probable that you will find an electron
shape of orbitals: s, p, d
sphere, dumbell, 2 perpendicular dumbbells
sublevel
subdivision of an energy level consists of one or more orbitals of the same energy
3 series and where found
Paschen series , found in infrared region . Balmer series, visible. Lyman series , found in ultraviolet region
