Chapter 7-9 Terms And Equations Flashcards
Wavelength
Frequency
Constructive interference
Waves in phase combine
Destructive interference
Waves out of phase and cancel one another
Diffraction
Bending a wave around the edge of an opening or obstacle
Black body radiation
Emisión of light from hot objects (high in energy)
Photoelectric effect
Emission of e’s from metal surfaces causes the surfaces to emit electrons , makes objects shine light from reflection
Emission spectra
Emission of light range of wavelengths from a atom stimulated by heat or electric current
Light has both wavelike and particle like characteristics , true or false?
True
Valence electrons
The electrons in the sub shells with the highest energy
Formula for effective nuclear charge
Zeff = Z-S
Z= atomic number
S= # of shielding E-‘s
What is the periodic trend for the size of atoms and ions?
Increases from top to bottom
And decreases from the left to right
How to find the shielding electrons?
Core electrons - valence electrons
Ex. Sulfur
10 core electrons - 6 valence electrons
