Exam 3 Flashcards
how are discrete line spectras produced
exciting a gas at a low partial pressure
formula for energy absorbed/emitted
hc/wavelength
quantized definition
a system is limited to specific energy values
when is a photon emitted
when an e- transitions from a ground state to an excited state
energy of a photon formula
h * v
relationship between electron energy and distance from nucleus
as one increases, so does the other
what is coulomb’s potential?
attractive force between a positive nucleus and an electron
important features of all orbital models
energies of electrons are quantized
electron energy increases with distance from nucleus
discrete energies (lines) in spectra come from quantized electronic energies
constructive intereference
peaks and troughs coincide to amplify
destructive interference
peaks and troughs conflict, cancels out
how to obtain probability density
square the wavefunction
principle quantum number
n
location of energy level/shell number
angular momentum quantum number
l
defines shape of orbital
any value from o to n-1
magnetic quantum number
m1
defines z component of l
ex. l = 1, m1 = -1, 0, +1
is absorption/emission of light endo or exothermic?
absorption: endothermic
emission: exothermic
wavefunction squaured …
probability of finding an electron at a given point near the position
radial distribution
total probability of finding an electron at a given distance (r) from the nucleus
- r increases with surface area
describe the electron density graph of the 1s orbital
starts high, goes lower, no nodes
describe the electron density graph of the 2s orbital
starts high, one node, one peak
describe the electron density graph of the 3s orbital
starts high, 2 nodes, one large peak, one smaller peak
describe the radial distribution graph of the 1s orbital
starts low, not at zero, one massive peak
describe the radial distribution graph of the 2s orbital
starts low, closer to zero, one node, two peaks second is larger than the first
describe the radial distribution graph of the 3s orbital
starts low, closer to zero, two nodes, three peaks getting progressively larger
