Q

How are atomic emission spectra generated?

A
  1. Electron is in ground state, energy is added
    2 electron moves to higher energy level (aka Excited state)
  2. Electron goes back down to ground state and loses Energy. Energy corresponds to certain wavelength and color
16
Q

Bohr’s Model

A

Electrons orbit the nucleus

Only works for hydrogen atom

Further from nucleus means higher energy level

17
Q

Quantum Mechanical Model

A

Small, positive, tight, and dense nucleus

Surrounded by electrons in orbitals

18
Q

Frequency

A

of wave cycles that pass a given point per unit time

19
Q

Wavelength

A

Distance between crests

20
Q

Amplitude

A

Height from zero to crest

21
Q

Color has most energy?

A

Violet
