24
Q

angular momentum quantum number (I)

A

this number determines spdf

25
Q

What are the possible values of the angular momentum quantum number l?

A

all the non-negative integers: 0,1,2,…, n-1, where n is a principal quantum number

26
Q

What does the angular momentum quantum number determine?

A

the shape of the orbital

27
Q

Why are atoms usually portrayed as spheres when most orbitals are not spherically shaped?

A

The shape of an atom is obtained by superimposing all of its orbitals.

28
Q

calculating frequency using wavelength

A

use the Eq v=c/(wavelength)

29
Q

Describe the interference pattern that results from the diffraction of electrons passing through two closely spaced slits.

A

The diffraction between electrons as they travel though 2 closely placed slits is an example of wave particle duality. When the electrons are not being monitored with a laser and are being measured for velocity, then they exhibit a wave like nature. However when the electrons are being measured for their position then they exhibit the traits of a particle. This led to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle which states that we can either know the position or the velocity of an electron at any given time, but we can never know them both at the same time. Electrons interfere with themselves when they are not being monitored for position and act with wave like interference when they are being monitored for velocity.

30
Q

Compare the characteristics of 4d orbitals and 3d orbitals and complete the following sentences.

A

4d orbitals would have more nodes and be larger in size than 3d orbitals.

31
Q

principle Quantum number

A

an integer that determines the size and energy of an orbital

32
Q

What are the possible values of the principal quantum number n?

A

all the positive integers: 1,2,3, etc.

33
Q

magnetic quantum number (Ml)

A

this is an interger that determines the orientation of the orbital. it ranges as the interger values in between -I and I

34
Q

spin quantum number

A

the spin Quantum number determines the electron spin and if it is spin up or spin down

n=4; l=3; ml=-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

39
Q

Which electron is, on average, closer to the nucleus: an electron in a 2s orbital or an electron in a 3s orbital?

A

2s

40
Q

when electrons move to a higner electron what did it absorb or give up energy

A

it absorbed energy

41
Q

when an electron regresses to a lower electron level did it absorb or give off energy

A

it released energy

42
Q

what transitions result in ultraviolate rays

A

any level down to n=1

43
Q

what transitions result in visable wavelengths

A

any level<=6 to 2

44
Q

what transitions result in infared wavelengths

A

levels 5 and 4 to level 3

45
Q

what happens when an electron in shell 1 absorbs alot of energy

A

When an atom absorbs energy, the electron usually quickly relaxes to a lower level, emitting light. The color of the emission is determined by the energy difference between energy levels.
