lap 3 chemistry Flashcards
light has characteristics of both
particles and waves
electromagnetic moves likes a
wave(repetitive motion)
particle
emission of particles when in contact with certain materials
electrons exist only in
very specific energy states for every atom of each element such as the ground and excited states
bohrs model of the hydrogen illustrates
electron transition states
electromagnetic radiation
a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space; a type of radiation that carries energy through space
list electromagnetic spectrum (from low to high frequency)
radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma
blackbody radiation
the emission of light from heated objects
planks constant
6.626 x 10 to the -34 js
to solve for a quantum of energy, use the equation
E=hv
ephoton is equal to
the difference between the atoms initial state and its final state
when the excited electron relaxes back to its ground state,
the energy is released as electromagnetic radiation
bohrs model of a hydrogen states
- electrons are in specified orbit; never in between
2.when energy is put in, the electrons absorb the energy and become excited moving to a new energy level - when the excited electron relaxes and releases(emits) the energy, it will either fall back to its ground state or to a lower energy state
- when the electrons fall to the lower energy level, it releases energy in the form of light color
- perfectly explains hydrogen’s one electron
- assumed to work out for all atoms
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle
principle quantum number is represented by
n (energy levels)
number of electrons per energy level is determined by the formula
2(n^2)
angular momentum quantum is represented by
l (sublevels)
magnetic quantum number is represented by
m sub l (number of orbitals)
