Chapter 4 Flashcards
Scientist…wave-particle duality
Einstein
Scientist… Light as quanta of energy
Mac Planck
Scientist…planetary model of the atom
Bohr
Scientist…wavelike properties of electrons
Broglie
Scientist…the uncertainty principle
Heisenberg
Information scientists obtained for photoelectric effect
- Frequency of light has to be above a certain minimum for the photoelectric effect to occur
- Photons-light exists as a particle and as a wave
Scientist… Wave equation and quantum model of the atom
Schrodinger
Difference between ground and excited state of an atom
The ground state is the lowest energy of an atom and the excited state is when the atom has a higher potential energy
How are the excited states and ground states related to the atom giving off a photon
Electrons release energy and the energy goes back to the ground state and a photon is given off
Why is it that the energy levels of an atom can be determined by measuring the light emitted from the atom?
Specific bands of color=specific energies
Higher frequency=
higher energy
higher frequency=
shorter wavelength
red has a ________ wavelength
long
violet has a ________ wavelength
short

how is bohr’s model of the atom similar to the quantum model
- nucleus with protons
- not surrounded by electrons
- electrons exist in certain energies
how is bohr’s model of the atom different to the quantum model
- bohr had specific circular orbitals
- bohr tried to predict exactly where the electrons were
- quantum- electrons in 3d orbitals, not circular orbitals
Pauli exclusion principle
no electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers
aufbau principle
an electron occupies the lowest energy orbital that can receive it
exceptions to the aufbau principle
- half-full sub levels are more stable
- to make d and f sub levels more stable, electrons will go into orbitals with a higher energy first
- atoms are more stable with a full energy level, full sub level(s,p,d,f) or a half full sub level
electromagnetic radiation
form of energy that exhibits wavelength behavior as it travels through space
