Exam 1 Flashcards
According to the de broglie equation, if two objects are moving at the same speed…
Doubling the mass of one of the objects will have the same effect on its wavelength as does doubling the speed
If one object has twice as much mass as the other, it’s wavelength is one-half the wavelength of the other
De broglie equation
Relates the wavelength of any moving company beefy to its mass and it’s speed
Wavelength=h/mu
H-plank constant
M-mass
U-velocity
Orbitals with larger values of n are….
Shells that are greater distance from the nucleus and have higher energies than those with lower values of n
Value of L and letter identifier
S-0 P-1 D-2 F-3 G-4
(These can be positive or negative numbers and go through interferes in between them- Ex if L=4 then ml can be -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3)
Magnetic quantum number (ml)
Defines the orientation of an orbital in space. An internet that may have any value from -l to +l, where l is the angular momentum quantum number
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
The principle that one cannot simultaneously know the exact position and the fact momentum of an electron
As quantum number n increases, the size of the orbital….
Also increases
Wavelength of light from lowest energy to highest energy
435nm
565nm
673nm
Lower numbers have higher energy
Characteristics that apply to an atomic orbital
Identified by a unique combination of THREE quantum numbers
A region around the nucleus of an atom where the probability of finding an electron is high
Defined by the square of the wave function
Degenerate orbitals
Need to be of the same energy
They Don’t have to be of same shape or even angular momentum quantum numbers
Aubau principle
The concept of building up ground state atoms so that their electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals available
How to find how many moles of a specific atom are in a compound
Multiple it’s subscript with the number of moles in compound
Relationship between frequency and wavelength
They are inversely proportional λν=c
Same with energy and wavelength
Excited state atom
total energy of the electrons can be lowered by transferring one or more electrons to different orbitals. That is, in an excited-state atom not all electrons are in the lowest possible energy levels.
Hunds rule
Every orbital is singly occupied before it is doubly occupied
