What is wavelength?
The distance between the top point of a wave to the other top point of another wave.
What is frequency?
The times a wave past a point for a period of time.
What is speed of light ?
The constant speed a wave travels.

What are subshells?
the subdivision in am electron shell of an atom.
What are orbitals?
The areas in an atom where you can find electrons.
Valence electrons
The higher subshell energy.
Core electrons
The lowest subshell energy.
What is an electron configuration?
The form shows the number of electrons in each occupied energy level and sublevel.
what is orbit?
Fixed path at a definite distance from the nucleus in which electrons revolve around the nucleus.
what is orbital?
Region of space around the nucleus where the probability of finding an electron is at a maximum.
