Know the Lewis symbol for phosphorus

A

5 valence electrons

20
Q

Know electron configuration of silicon

A

4 electrons

21
Q

Tin has how many valence electrons?

A

4 valence

22
Q

Know formula for fluoride of nitrogen

A

NF3?

23
Q

Know why the 4s orbital fills before the 3D orbital

A

Because electrons repel each other and in order to make sure that in the 3rd subs he’ll only 18 electrons are in it, 4s must fill before 3d.

24
Q

What is aufbau principle ?

A

Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbital available, filling in orbitals or successively higher energies until all the electrons are distributed

25
Q

What is Hund’s rule?

A

When a p,d,or f subshell is being filled, one electron will occupy each orbital in that subshell before pairing begins

26
Q

What is the law of octaves?

A

When he arranged the known elements in order of increasing atomic masses, he noticed that there was a repetition of similar properties every eighth element. That is, the first was like the eighth, the second like the ninth and so on.

27
Q

What is Pauli exclusion principle?

A

States that no two electrons in an atom may have the same set of four quantum numbers

28
Q

What is periodic law?

A

Is that the physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses

29
Q

What is quantum theory of light?

A

States that light consists of tiny bundles or “packets” of energy called photons

30
Q

What is theory of relativity ?

A

theory, formulated essentially by Albert Einstein, that all motion must be defined relative to a frame of reference and that space and time are relative, rather than absolute concepts: it consists of two principal parts

31
Q

What is the uncertainty principle?

A

It is impossible to simultaneously determine the momentum( mass times velocity) and the position of an electron with precision; either momentum or position may be measured but not both

32
Q

Understand and explain Rutherford’s, Bohr’s and Born’s models of the atom and explain problems that led to the replacement of Rutherford’s and Bohr’s models.

A

Rutherford- planets orbiting the sun, his model contradicted laws of physics because his model would end up having the planets crouch into core nucleus and destroy atom

Bohr- electrons in atom can only move about in specific orbits, his model only works for hydrogen atom but not accurate for any other kinds of elements

Born- electrons have orbitals, or areas in which they move freely around atom, his model called, electron cloud model, his is the most correct model to date

Neither model was full correct in its explanation of the atom and it’s electrons, so Born came up with his model, the electron cloud model, which is now considered to be the most accurate representation of the atom and its electrons

33
Q

True/False

The high points of a wave are called crests.

A

True

34
Q

T/F

When an element is vaporized and heated in a flame or an electric arc, the light emitted forms a continuous spectrum.

A

False

Scattered lines of color

35
Q

T/F
The theory that regards light as consisting of tiny packets of energy that have characteristics of both particles and waves is the matter wave theory of light.

A

False

Wave particle duality

36
Q

The arrangement of all forms of electromagnetic radiation in order of frequency and wavelength is the electromagnetic spectrum.

A

True

A

False

3.0(10^8 meters/second)

38
Q

A

False

Frequency

42
