Week Three Flashcards
White Light
passed through a prim, separates into a continuous spectrum of colours
Light Spectrum
consists of mainly black background, and a series of line at different wavelengths
- each element produces its own unique line specturm
Maxwell’s Theory
light consists of electro-magnetic waves. that travel in at 3.0 x 10^8ms^-1
Speed of light symbol
c
h
wavelength
v
frequency
frequency formula
frequency = speed/wavelength
Planck Theory
elements emit or absorb light energy in discrete amounts.
- the energy of a quantum (E) is the amount that can be emitted (or absorbed) in the form of radiation
Quantum Energy Formula
E= Hv where H is planck’s constant
Planck’s Constant
6.63 x 10^-34Js
Bohr’s Theory
- electron occupy discrete orbitals
- Energy is not radiated continually
- absorption of fixed quantities of energy occurs
- emission of fixed quantity of energy occurs
- electrons have spin
Addition of heat to electrons
atoms absorb the energy and electrons jump to higher energy levels
- after a while, electrons return to a lower level and energy is released as light
how energy difference between shells is measured
by measuring the wavelength or frequency of light emitted
Energy difference formula
DE= hV where v is frequency
Electron wavelength behaviour
behave like standing waves
- occupy discrete electronic energies
Quantum Numbers
4 numbers
- principal quantum number (n)
- angular momentum number (L)
- magnetic quantum number(ml)
- spin quantum (ms)
Principal quantum number (n)
shells of electrons are number by their principal quantum number
n=1 shell has up to 2 electrons
n= 2shell has up to 8 electrons
Shell structure
the potential energy increases as the distance of the shell from the nucleus increases
- gaps between the amount of energy needed decrease as you move up the shells as you need less energy to move between shells
increasing the number of protons
decreases the energy of all shells and moves them closer to nucleus
Angular Momentum Quantum Number
each shell consists of sub shells
- l has possible values ranging from 0 to n-1
Angular Momentum Quantum Number - first shell
s orbital
Angular Momentum Quantum Number - second shell
s and p orbital
Angular Momentum Quantum Number- third shell
s, p and d orbital
Angular Momentum Quantum Number - fourth shell
s,p,d and f orbitals
orbital energy increase
increases as the shells go across the periodic table
Magnetic Quantum Number (Ml)
orientation and orbital direction
- tells how many orbitals there are for the l value
l = 0
s orbital - one
l = 1
p orbital
- ml = +1,0,-1
3 p orbitals
l = 2
d orbitals
- ml = +2,+1,0,-1,-2
