AB
Is wavelength and frequency directly related or inversely?Inversely
DemocritusSaid the world is made up of empty space and basic particle called the "atom"
Atom"indivisible" in Greek
AristotleDidn't believe in atoms believed in continuous flowing matter called "hyle"
Law of definite porportionsA compound contains elements in the same prportion by mass regardless of the size of the sample
Law of mulitple porportionsRatio of masses of one element to another element in a compound can always be expressed as small whole numbers
AtomSmallest particle of an element that retains chemical properties of that element
J.J. ThomsonCathode rays are negatively charged particles-electrons are found in all atoms
MillikanMeasured the charge of the electron
RutherfordDiscovered the nucleus and made the planetary model
IsotopesAtoms of the same element that have different masses
Electromagnetic RadiationA form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior
QuantumMinimum energy that is either lost or gained by an atom
Max PlanckGerman physicist said energy equals the constand times the frequency
How is energy and frequency related?Directly
Gound statelowest enegry state for the atom
Excited satehigher energy state once e- has absorbed energy
Bohr Modeltried to prove that electrons can circle the nucleus in only specific paths
DeBroglieCombined Planks & Ensteins equations to prove that particles can have wave properties
wavelength=h/mvDeBroglie
Heisenberg's Uncertainty PrincipleState's you can't pinpoint a location of e-
Principle Quantum Number (n)corresponds to the energy level
Angular momentum Quantum Number ( l )energy states within each level-sublevel
Magnetic Quantum Number (m)orbitals--> space occupied by 2 e-
Spin Quantum Number (s)Two e- located in the same orbital will spin in opposite directions
Pauli Exclusion PrincipleNo 2 e- in an atom have the same set of 4 quantum numbers
Aufbau Principlee- occupy the lowest energy orbital possible
Hund's RuleOrbitals of equal energy are occupied b 1 e- follwed by a 2nd e- after each has 1 e-
How many orbitals are in the "d" sublevel?5
What is the maximum number of electrons in the 4th energy level?32
What is the first energy level to have a "d" sublevel?3rd
How many orbitals are in the "f" sublevel?7
What is the maximum number of electrons in the "f" sublevel?14
