Q

Photoelectric effect

A

Expormental evidence that light also behaves like a particle

17
Q

the energy of a photon is equal to

A

H, planks constant multiplied by frequency

18
Q

Planks constant

A

6.626 x 10^-34

19
Q

Bohr Model

A

electrons orbit around nucleus like planets around the sun

20
Q

When an electron moves to a lower energy orbit a ____ is emitted

A

photon

21
Q

Mass of an electron

A

9.11 x 10^-31 kg

22
Q

Uncertainty principle

A

an electrons position and velocity are complementary and cannot be measured simultaneously. The more accurately we know the position , the less accurately we know the velocity.

23
Q

Equation for difference in energy. example n=6 to n=5

A

Ef-Ei= -2.18x10^-18 (1/nf2 - 1/ni2)

24
Q

Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l)

A

An integer that determines orbital shape

L=0= s orbital
L =1= p orbital
L =2= d orbitals
L =3= f orbitals

25
Q

The Spin Quantum number (ms)

A
specifies the spin of an electron
spin up (+1/2)
spin down (-1/2)
26
Q

Orbital shape is determined by what factor?

A

(L) 0 1 2 3

s p d f
