Answer 1

cat is either dead or alive..it isn’t both when its observed

cat is both dead and alive when its not being observed

Question 2

What is light?

Answer 2

light is electromagnetic radiation moving back and forth from electric and magnetic fields

Question 3

magnetic fields

Answer 3

region of space where magnetic particle experiences a force

Question 4

electric field

-thunderstorm example

Answer 4

regions of space where electrical charge particle experiences a force
-you see light immediately but sound takes time to travel.

Question 5

c

Answer 5

3*10^8 m/s

Question 6

The electromagnetic spectrum
put in order from low energy to high energy
-microwaves
-visible light
-radio
-infrared(hotness you feel when you touch an object)
-gamma rays (sun, stars)
-UV light
-xrays

Answer 6

radio-microwaves-infrared-visible light-UV-xray-gamma ray

a) radio waves
b) microwaves
c) infared
d) Ultraviolet

Answer 8

(i) d,c,b,a

(ii) a,b,c,d

Question 9

Pauli Exclusion Principle

Answer 9

no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers

Question 10

paramagnetic/diamagnetic

Answer 10

para-unpaired electrons

dia-paired electrons

Question 11

Hunds Rule

Answer 11

All orbitals of equal energy must get one electron before any orbital gets two.

Question 12

Coulomb’s law

Answer 12

• attractive forces increase between nucleus and electrons

- lower potential energy as the atoms get closer together

Question 13

What are electrons?

Answer 13

smallest particle that makes up an atom

Question 14

quantum mechanical model explain what?

Answer 14

the strange behavior of electrons
