CHEMISTRY Flashcards
is the physical material
of the universe.
Matter
is a measure of how closely
individual measurements agree with
one another.
Precision
refers to how closely
individual measurements agree with
the correct, or “true” value.

consists of the principal energy
level (n value), the letter designation of the sublevel (l
value), and the number of electrons (#) in the sublevel,
written as a superscript: nl .
Electronic Configuration
consists of a box (or just a line) for each
orbital in a given energy level, grouped by sublevel (with nl
designation shown beneath), with an arrow representing
an electron and its spin: ↑ is +1⁄2 and ↓ is -1⁄2.
Orbital Diagram
Every atomic orbital within a sublevel is singly occupied
before it is doubly occupied and that all singly occupied
orbitals possess electrons with the same spin.
Hund’s Rule
the number of
complete waves, or cycles, that pass a
given point per second; expressed by
the unit 1/s [also called hertz (Hz)].
Frequency (v)
the
distance between two adjacent peaks
(or between two adjacent troughs).
Wavelength (lambda)
the distance it moves per unit time (meters per
second), the product of its frequency (cycles per second)
and wavelength (meters per cycle):
