Line electron spectrum
Seperate by a prism, light produced by each element produces a distinctive band of color
Photoelectric effect
Light waves struck certain metals, the energy of light knocked off electrons and produced electric current
Debroglie
Electrons could act as waves
Orbital
3d region of space where electrons could be
N
Level valence electrons are on
L1
P
L2
D
L0
S
L3
F
Aufbau principle
Electrons full lower energy orbitals first
Hunds
All orbitals at a given sublevel will fill with one electron before any pairs up
Pauli exclusion principle
No more than 2 electrons can occupy a single orbital
Atomic radius
Distance between nuclei of two identically bonded atoms of same element. Period: decreases group: increases
Electronegativity
How bad the electron wants an atom. Period: increases group: decreases
Ie
Amount of energy needed to ionize element period: increases group: decreases
Alpha
Atomic: -2 mass: -4
