Q

What contributions did Mendeleev make to the periodic table?

A

-elements were ordered by atomic mass
-saw repeating patterns of properties
-used pattern to predict undiscovered properties
-when atomic mass order did not fit other properties, he re-ordered by other properties

16
Q

How does the radius decrease?

A

when electrons add to the same shell, there is pull or attraction that causes all the electrons to be closer to the nucleus; therefore, adding electrons causes the atomic radius to decrease

27
Q

What are the two different types of energy from electrons exchange?

A

electricity, fireworks

28
Q

Why is direct observation of electrons within an atom impossible?

Q

Electrons behavior determines much of the behavior of ______

A

atoms

30
Q

What is the definition of light?

A

the form of electromagnetic radiation; type of energy in oscillating electric and magnetic fields

31
Q

What is the electric field?

A

a region where an electrically charged particle experiences a force

32
Q

What is a magnetic field?

A

a region where a magnetized particles experience a force

33
Q

What is wavelength?

A

the distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a wave; creates different colors

34
Q

What is frequency?

A

the number of complete wave passing during a point in a given period of time

35
Q

What makes amplitude different from wavelength?

A

amplitude changes the brightness

36
Q

What is spectra?

A

when atoms or molecules absorb energy, that energy is often released as energy (light)

37
Q

What is emission spectra?

A

when that emitted light is passed through a prism, a pattern of light is seen that is unique to that type of atom or molecule; two types

38
Q

what are the two types of emission spectra?

A

continuous, line

39
Q

What is an orbital?

A

a probability distribution map of regions within an atom where an electron is likely to be found

40

higher; larger; higher

41

A

the sharing of electrons between nonmetals

46

A

no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers

A

every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.

55
Q

What is the octet rule?

A

Atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons in order to have a full set of valance electrons.
