Chapter 7/8- Electron Configuration Flashcards
Wave definition
Disturbance by which energy is transmitted
Wavelength definition
Distance between 2 peaks
Amplitude definition
Vertical distance from midline
Frequency definition
Number of waves for a particular pt per second
Wavelength equation
Speed of wave= frequency x wavelength
Speed of light?
3.00 x 10^8 m/s
What happens to frequency as energy increases?
Increase in frequency
What happens to wavelength as energy increases?
Decrease in wavelength
S orbital
1 circular orbital, fits 2 electrons
P orbital
Infinity shape, 3 of each
2 electrons each, 6 electrons total
D orbital
X shape, 5 of each
Each fits 2, 10 electrons total
What is n?
Principle quantum number
Determined energy of an orbital
1,2,3… No zero or negatives
What is L?
Angular momentum quantum number
Determines shape of orbital
Ranges from 0 to n-1
How many orbitals can be in a given value, n?
N^2
How to find total number of orbitals?
