Topic 2 Flashcards
isotopes
Atoms of the same element with different no of neutrons. They have the same chemical properties but different physical properties
Wavelength
The distance between on crest theorugh another
unit= m
Frequency
The number of wave that pass a fixed poiunt in 1 sec
Gamma rays —-VIBGYOR———–Radio waves
High energy —-Low enerhy
Short w.l———–
High freq———
Quantum theory
An electron in an atom can only have fixed energy values
The energy of an electron is quantized
Heisenberg uncerntantity principle
We cannot know both the location and spin of an electron at the same time
Exception to the thingy
Cu
4s eclectron is transferred to the 3d to make 3d more stable
4s1 3d10
Cr
4s1 3D5
Continous vs emission line spectrum
Continous- all wavelengths of light is obtained
Emission-emit a line spectrum which contains emissions at particular wavelengths
Explanation of emission spectra
when energy is supplied to a gaseous atom its e- are excited and are promoted from a lower to a higher enerhy level absorbing energy
The excited state becomes unstable and electron drops down to e lvel emitting quantised energy in the form of phtons
Emits certain wavelengths
