exam 2 Flashcards
hess’s law
the overall enthalpy change of a process is the sum of the enthalpy change of each step of the process
frequency
the number of cycles per seconds (s-1)(Hz)
wavelength
the distance between any point on a wave and the same point on a corresponding crest (m or nm)
1 nm
10^-9 meters
speed
distance per unit of time (meters/second)
speed of light
3.00 x 10^8
amplitude
the height of the radiation wave (intensity and color)
electromagnetic spectrum (greatest to least)
gamma x-ray UV visible infared microwave radio
bohr model
one works for one electron models
rydberg equation is used for…
position of a wavelength give n values
ground state
lowest e energy level (n-1)
excited state
(n>1) orbit farther from the nucleus
principle quantum number
(n) the SIZE, relative distance to the nucleus. also specifies energy level
angular momentum quantum #
(l) integer from 0 to (n-1). tells us the SHAPE
the possible # of l values is = to the n value
magnetic quantum #
(-1 to +1)(m) tells us the ORIENTATION of the orbital
