Electron Configuration and Waves Flashcards
On the electron magnetic spectrum which type of wave is most harmful? How?
Gamma rays because of more energy, the rays increase
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can you see with your eyes?
400 nm to 700 nm
List the wave equations formulas
C=yv. E=hv
List the different types of EMS waves from highest to lowest energy
Gamma rays, X-Rays, ultra-violet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
Nanometers = ?
10^-9 m
What happens to electrons when they gain/lose energy?
Their behavior changes based on the energy levels they occupy.
What is the Ground State for Electrons?
When the electrons falls back to its original, lower energy level.
What is the Excited State for Electrons?
Electron absorbs energy moving to a higher energy level.
When an electron from the exited state falls back down to the ground state what happens to that stored energy?
The energy emitted is turned into a photon
For amount of energy needed from an electron to move from the ground state to an exited state is called a ?
Photon
What is the aufbau principle?
Electrons must occupy lowest energy first
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
An orbital can hold a max of 2 electrons
What is Hund’s rule?
Electrons with the same spin must occupy empty orbitals first before pairing up
How do you tell the charge of an atom/ion?
The number of protons - number of electrons
What does isoelectronic mean?
When atoms have the same number of valence electrons
Where would electrons be lost/gained ?
From the outer most shell
