Electronic Structure

Question 1

Equation for energy of photons

Answer 1

E=hv or hc/wavelength

H is plancks constant, v is frequency, and c is the speed of light

Question 2

Which types of radiation are highest and lowest in energy?

Answer 2

Gamma rays have the highest energy and radiowaves have the lowest

Question 3

What does increasing wavelength mean?

Answer 3

Less frequency and less energy

Question 4

What is the lowest energy state?

Answer 4

The ground state

Question 5

An electron in a higher energy state is in what state?

Answer 5

Excited state

Question 6

If an electron transitions from a higher energy level (n) to a lower energy level is the light emitted or absorbed?

Answer 6

Emitted

Question 7

When to use the energy change formula and what formula should be used to convert the energy to wavelength afterwards

Answer 7

When n initial and n final are given.
To convert E to wavelength use the E=hc/wavelength formula

Question 8

What is the trend of ionization energy on the periodic table?

Answer 8

Ionization energy increases as you go up to the right

Question 9

What is the trend for atomic radii size on the periodic table?

Answer 9

Increases as you go left and down the periodic table

Question 10

What is the order if increasing energy in electron configuration of n?

Answer 10

s<p<d<f
