Q

what was wrong with classical (Newtonian) physics?

A

they could not get their experimental data to agree with theory, so they had to change the theory to fit the data

Q

blackbody radiation

A

energy is like matter, it is discontinuous or quantized
-the energy of a quantum of EM radiation is proportional to the frequency of the radiation

Q

energy formula

22
Q

photoelectric effect

A

when light strikes the surface of certain metals, electrons are ejected
-emission only occurs at certain threshold frequencies (v_0)

23
Q

E of photon equals

24
Q

atomic emission spectra

A

when an electron is struck with energy, the electron is excited, which causes it to emit light

25
blackbody radiation and the photoelectric effect suggest that
electrons could only occupy certain energy levels
26
Neils Bohr new model of atom
-electrons move around the nucleus in one fixed set of circular orbits (like planets around the sun) -as long as the electron remains in a given orbit, no energy is emitted; fixed radius and energy -an atom emits energy as a photon when the electron falls to an orbit with a smaller radius and lower energy
27
when an electron falls from a high energy level to a low energy level
it emits energy in the form of a photon (-)
28
when an electron goes from a low energy level to a high one
it can only do so if it absorbs photons (+)
29
energy levels
the allowed energy states of an atom
30
lowest energy level
ground state n=1
31
excited state
when an electron moves out of the ground state into a state with a higher n value
32
delta E=
-2.18 x 10^-18 ((1/nf^2)-(1/ni^2))
33
ionization happens when
an electron leaves an atom entirely, resulting in an ion -the energy this requires in hydrogen is the Rydberg constant
34
for hydrogen-like atoms, energy increases so the
atomic number (Z) also increases
35
increasing Z results in
-a greater charge -affects the separation between the electron and the nucleus
36
what's the equation between mass and wavelength
λ = h/p = h/mv
37
uncertainty principle
you can never determine the position AND momentum of an electron (you know one or the other)
38
principle quantum number (n)
related to the energy and probable distance of the electron from the nucleus; describing the SHELL where the electron is located
39
electrons with the same value of n are in
the same principal electron shell or level
40
n can have ____ number values
positive, non-zero, whole-number values - n= 1, 2, 3, 4.....
41
angular momentum quantum number (l)
describes the shape of the orbital where the electron is located; describes the SUBSHELL where the electrons are -all electrons with the same value of n and l are in the same subshell/sublevel
42
l can have ____ number values
positive, whole-number values (including zero_ but cannot be greater than the n value - l= 0, 1, 2, 3 ,4.....
43
the number of subshells in a principal electronic shell is equal to
the number of possible l values
44
letters for the subshells for the first four values of l
l=0-->s l=1--->p l=2--->d l=3--->f
45
magnetic quantum number (m sub l)
describes the orientation of the orbital where the electron is located
46
m_l can have ____ number values
negative or positive whole number values (including zero), ranging from the - to + l values - M_l= -l...-2, -1, 0, 1, 2...+l
47
spin quantum number (m sub s)
describes the orientation of the electron spin -can only have +/- 1/2
48
orbitals
the areas around the nucleus in which an electron is likely to be found -The number of orbitals in a subshell is equal to the number of allowed m_l values for that subshell (2l+1)
49
s orbital shape (l=0)
spherical
50
p orbital shape (l=1)
two lobes with a node in the middle where electrons cannot go
51
d orbitals (l=2)
have multiple lobes and nodes
