Quantum Theory Flashcards
1
Q
Quantum Theory
A
Describes mathematically the wave properties of electrons
2
Q
Double slit experiment
A
Waves could only be certain frequencies since electrons can only hsve certain amounts of energy
3
Q
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
A
It is impossible to know both the position and velocity of an electron
4
Q
Principle Quantum #
A
- increase energy level
* increase size od orbital
5
Q
Angular Momentum Quantum( 2nd Quantum #)
A
- indicates the shape of the orbital (sublevel)
* s, p, d, f
6
Q
3rd Quantum #
A
- specifies the orientation of the orbitals
* has values: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
7
Q
Orbitals
A
3D area around a nucleus that has a high probablitly of containing an electron
