Chapter 6: Electronic Structure of Atoms

Question 1

Metal electron configuration exception

Answer 1

When metals have a full S orbital but D is partially filled, an electron(s) will be moved from the S to the D, making S half full/empty and D full/half full

Question 2

Speed of light (c)

Answer 2

3.0810^8 m/s

Question 3

Wave frequency relationship formula

Answer 3

V = (lambda)*f

Question 4

E = hv

Answer 4

h is Plank’s constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J-s) joule-seconds
V is frequency of the radiation

Energy (E) is only able to be emitted/absorbed in whole number multiples of hv
