Chapter 3&4 Flashcards
What is used to represent an element?
Unique Symbol
Who is credited for the most current version of the periodic table?
Mendeleev
What are used to represent compounds?
Formulas
What are some of the symbols based on?
Latin or German name of the element
What are the rows and columns of the periodic table called?
Periods and Groups
What are the elements in the A Groups called?
Representative Elements
What are the elements in the B group called?
Transition Elements
What group is the alkali metals?
Group 1A
What group is the alkaline Earth metals?
Group 2A
What group are the halogens?
Group 7A
What group are the noble gases?
Group 8A
What is the atomic number?
Number of protons in the nucleus
How do you determine the number of electrons in a neutral atom?
They are the same number as the protons
How do you determine the mass number?
Protons+Neutrons
What is an isotope?
Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They have the same atomic mass but different mass numbers.
Calculate an isotope?
Abundance(Atomic Mass)+x+x then divide by 100
What is light?
Electromagnetic radiation that oscillates along as a wave.
What are the three variables that describe wave properties?
Wave length, frequency, and amplitude
What is the formula for frequency, cycles per second?
V= c/wavelength
What is a continuous spectrum?
When white light is passed through a prism. Contains all wavelengths of visible light
What is a line spectrum?
Each line corresponds to a discrete wavelength.
What is Rygbergs equation?
-91.2051795273021/(1/n2 final)-1/n2 initial)
What is planks constant?
H=6.62608x10^8
What is Einstein’s famous equation?
E=mc^2
What are the electrons attracted to the nucleus by?
Electrical Force
What is the photoelectric effect classical method?
Increase energy by increasing amplitude but nothing happened. Increase frequency enough an electron is emitted
What were the results of the photoelectric effect?
Light acts like a particle. Energy must overcome the binding energy of the electron to the nucleus. E=hv E=(hc)/wavelength
What did DeBroglie propose?
A photon not only carries energy but also carries momentum.
Momentum is p=mv
Energy and momentum are inversely proportional to wavelength.
What is the Compton effect?
Put X-rays on matter and measure the scattered radiation. Scattered X-ray didn’t have same wavelength so photons are particles.
What is the wave theory?
X-ray should transfer some of its energy to the electron and emerge with a lower energy. Wavelength 2 equals wavelength 1
What is the particle theory?
X-ray should transfer its energy to the electron. Wavelength 2 > wavelength 1
Is light a wave or particle?
Has both wave and particle properties.
What is heisenbergs uncertainty principle?
Limitation to just how precisely we know both the position and momentum of a particle at a given time.
What is heisenbergs formula?
Formula
How are the locations and energy of electrons specified?
Shell, subshell, and orbital
What is an orbital?
Wave function.
What is probability distribution?
Intensity of color is used to indicate the probability value near a given point in space
