Chapter 4 Flashcards
All the forms of electromagnetic radiation
electromagnetic spectrum
A form of radiation that exhibits wave like behavior
Electromagnetic radiation
Excited state
When an atom has more potentiometer energy than it has in its ground state
The emission of the continuous range of frequencies of electromagnetic
Continuous spectrum
The number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time
Frequency
Lowest energy state of an atom
Ground state
A series of specific wave lengths of emitted lights created when the visible portion of light from excited atoms
Line-emission spectrum
The emission of electrons from metal when light shines
Photoelectric effect
A particle of electromagnetic radiation that had zero rest mass
Photon
The minimum quantity of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom
Quantum
The distance between to corresponding points
Wave length
the quantum number that indicates the shape of the orbital
Angular momentum quantum number
It’s impossible to determine simultaneous both the position and velocity of the electron or any particle
Heisenburg uncertainly principle
The quantum number that indicates the orientation of the orbital around the nucleus
Magnetic quantum number
The 3 dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron
Orbital
