Quantum Mechanics Flashcards
how does ionization energy change throughout the periodic table?
increases up and to the right
how does the atomic radius change through the periodic table?
it increases going down and to the left
how does the electronegativity change thought the periodic table?
increases up and to the right.
what are the letters for each orbital?
s, d, p, and f.
what are the quantum numbers?
n, l, ml, and ms
how does the wavelength affect frequency?
large wave= low frequency. small wave= high frequency.
what is frequency
amount of waves in a period of time.
what is the ground state?
when electrons are in the closest possible ring to the nucleus.
what is an excited state?
when the electrons are exposed to energy which excites them to different rings.
what is the shape of the S orbital?
its a circle, larger circle the larger the value of n is.
what is the shape of the P orbital?
like a lil star with eights on them, three eights at different angles.
what is the uncertainty principle
you can’t know both the precise location of an electron and its velocity at that exact time as well, only know one or the other.
what is the quantum number n for?
the energy and size of the orbital. higher value = higher energy level. level in the electron configuration.
what is the quantum number l for?
the orbitals shape, ranges from 0 to n-1. refers to the energy sub levels in each level. 0 = s, 1 = p, 2 = d, 3 = f.
what does the quantum number ml for?
it values from -l to l, including 0. indicates the orientation of space around the nucleus. its limited by l, which coincidentally is limited by n.
