Wavelengths, Light, And Colors Flashcards
List the colors of visable light IN ORDER of increasing frequency
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet
The relationship between wavelength and frequency
Longer wavelength = Smaller Frequency
Relationship between Wavelength and Energy
Short wavelength = More energy
Relationship between energy and frequency
High frequency = shorter wavelength // more energy = higher frequency
How do Atoms emit light?
- Energy comes in. 2. Electrons go out. 3. Energy goes out. 4. Photons produced
What is the Photoelectric effect?
The emission of electrons when light is shone onto a material
What is an orbital?
a wave function that describes property characteristics of 2 electrons in vicinity of a nucleus
What is energy level?
the fixed amount of energy a system (described by quantum mechanics) like a molecule, atom, electron, nucleus can have
What are the four possible orbital shapes?
figure 8, peanut, 8, infinity
how many possibke positions (oreintations) are there for each orbital shape?
1, 3, 5, 7
What are valence electrons?
Electrons in the highest energy level
What is Bonding Capacity
of electrons an atom can gain, lose/share to make a chemical bond
