Unit 1 Lesson 2 Flashcards
What happens when a current is absorbed by an electron
It absorbs the energy and moves to a higher energy level before dropping back down to a lower energy level and releasing energy in the form of a photon of light with specific quantities of energy depending on the element
Bohr was able to explain the spectral line for hydrogen gas however was unable to explain the additional lines seen on the line spectra of other elements. Where are the additional lines from
Sub levels or sub shells called
S, p, d, and f
Orbital
A region of space where there is a high probability of finding an electron
S orbital shape
A sphere holding 2 electrons
P orbital shape
Dumbell shaped on 3 different axis holding 2 electrons on each axis (6 electrons total)
D orbital shape
Shaped like a 4 leaf clover in 5 different axis holding 2 electrons each (10 electrons total)
F orbital
Shapes on 7 different axis
Holding 2 electrons in each axis (14 electrons total)
