Quantum Mechanics quest Flashcards
Emission spectra are characterized by narrow bright lines of different color T/F
True
Imagine an emission spectrum produced by a container of hydrogen gas. Changing the amount of hydrogen in the container will change the color of the lines in the spectrum T/F
False
In the previous question, changing the gas in the container from hydrogen to helium will change the colors of the lines occurring in the spectrum T/F
True
An absorption spectrum appears as a continuous spectrum interrupted by a series of dark lines T/F
True
The wavelengths of the emissions lines produced by an element are different from the wavelengths of the absorption lines produced by the same element
True but bad question
Which statement is true?
none of them
Why wrong? An atom emits light when it decays to a lower energy level
Electron not atom
Why wrong? An electron transition from the n=2 to the n=1 orbit will emit shorter wavelengths than a transition from the n=3 to the n=1
longer not shorter
Why wrong? An atom moving from the n=3 to the n=1 energy level absorbs light
electron not atom
Why wrong? An electron emits lights when it is excited to a higher energy level
gains not emits
How to draw a Bohr model
- Figure out e,n,p
- Put P and N in the nucleus
- Put electrons in rings around paying attention to how many can go in each ring
Spectroscopy
The branch of science concerned with the investigation and measurement of the spectra produced when matter interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation
Continuous spectra
Continuous range of frequencies/wavelengths/energies of electromagnetic radiation
Line Spectra
A spectra consisting of discrete frequencies of electromagnetic radiation
Emission (bright line) spectra
Results from electrons losing energy when they move from an excited state to the ground state
Absorption (dark line) spectra
Results when electrons absorb energy to move from ground to excited state
Bohr Model
- In the late 19th century, a mathematical formula that related the various wavelengths of hydrogen emissions lines was discovered
- Goal was to recognize that spectral lines are the result of transitions of electrons between energy levels that correspond to photons of light with an energy and frequency related to the energy spacing between levels
- Wrong because only explains for hydrogen atom
Light emission you can’t see
- Lyman- anything-1; ultraviolet
- Balmer- anything-2; visible
- Paschen- anything-3; infrared

The Quantum Mechanics Model
- The Quantum Mechanics Model describes the most likely location of an election
- It like the address of an electron
- There are four quantum numbers
Louis de Broglie
determined electrons can act as waves
Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger
described mathematically the wave properties of electrons with the quantum theory
Energy levels and their number of sub levels
- s
- s & p
- s, p, & d
4-7. s, p, d, & f
How many electrons each sub level can hold
s-2
p-6
d-10
f-14
