change in E: positive

Question 17

Pauli Exclusion Principle

Answer 17

no two electrons can have the same quantum numbers

Question 18

Answer 19

fill to minimize energy

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s

Radial Distribution Function (RDF)

Answer 21

Probability of finding an electron at distance r

RDF = 4(pi)r^2(workfunction)^2

Standing Wave Equation

Answer 22

L = n(wavelength/2)
n = nodes + 1

Question 23

Energy in a wave is

Answer 23

proportional to the amplitude

Question 24

KE in the photoelectric effect

Answer 24

increases with frequency (once past v0)

Question 25

of electrons during the photoelectric effect depends on

Answer 25

Intensity

Question 26

Ionization Energy

Answer 26

Energy needed to strip away an electron Always + Harder in upper right Exception: Al < Mg since it is easier to pull electrons from higher energy orbitals

Question 27

Electron Affinity (sometimes Electronegativity)

Answer 27

``` Energy change when an electron is added Often negative (exothermic) Easiest in upper right (most negative) - does not include nobel gases It is positive when added electron to negative ion ```
