Chapter 6 Electronic Structure Of Atoms Flashcards
Wavelength
Distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves
Number of waves passing a given point per unit of time is
Frequency
All electromagnetic radiation travels
At the speed of light
3 x 10^8 m/s
C=
Wavelength x frequency
Energy comes in packets called
Quanta
Einstein concludes that energy is proportional to
Frequency
E=hv
Where H is planks constant. 6.626 E-34 J-s
Visible region on spectrum
400nm-750nm
Energy absorbed or emitted from electron promotion or demotion
E= -hcRh (1/n2 - 1/n1)
Rh is the Rydberg constant 1.097 E7
Equation for wavelength, h, m, v
Wavelength=h/mv
Quantum mechanics
Mathematical relationship between wave and particle nature of matter
An orbital describes
A spatial distribution of electron density
An orbital is described by a set of three
Quantum numbers
Principal quantum number
n
Value of n is integers greater than or equal to 1
Angular momentum Quantum Number
l
Defines the shape of the orbital
Values ranging from 0 to n-1
l orbital number types
0-s
1-p
2-d
3-f
