Hund’s Rule

Answer 8

when filling up orbitals that have the same energy level, they will each occupy their own before doubling up

the number of peaks that pass through a point per unit of time

Question 35

Constructive Interference

Answer 35

"in phase" waves come together to become a bigger wave

Question 36

Destructive Interference

Answer 36

"out of phase" waves come together to cancel each other out

Question 37

Plum pudding model

Answer 37

neutrons + protons --> the dough electrons --> plum bits scattered throughout

Question 38

Photoelectric effect + equation used

Answer 38

shinning light on a metal surface can cause e- to be ejected --> emitted e- are called photoelectrons can measure photoelectron speed to determine their kinetic energy using = KE electron = 1/2 (mass or electron)(velocity of electron)^2

Question 39

Light behaves as...

Answer 39

A wave and has particle like characteristics

Question 40

the minimum amount of energy required to detach an e- from a surface

Answer 40

KE electron = E photon - E0 0 = depends on metals identity

Question 41

Bohr Model

Answer 41

only works for H- atom (simplest) not 100% correct, electrons do not orbit nucleus on set tracks

Question 42

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Answer 42

we cannot know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or electron, with perfect accuracy; the more we nail down the particle's position, the less we know about its speed and vice

Question 43

Schrodinger

Answer 43

propose mechanical model --> treats electrons as waves, e- behaves as waves each having a wave function
