What is wavelength?
the distance between one peak and the next
*the measurement of wavelength is between peak to peak or trough to trough
As wavelength increases, the frequency?
decreases
What is the speed of light?
c=wavelengthXfrequency=300x10^8 m/s
What is the unit of frequency?
per second
1 hertz=
1 sec^-1
100.3 MHz=
wavelength
What is the principle quantum number?
N
What symbol is the angular momentum quantum number?
L (cursive)
What is the symbol for the magnetic quantum number?
M sub e
What is the symbol for the spin quantum number?
M sub s
What does the principle quantum number tell us?
energy or distance from nucleus
What numbers is the principle quantum number (n) allowed to be?
1,2,3,4
And N (principle quantum number) increases, what does E do?
increase
What does L (angular momentum quantum number decribe?
Tells the shape
What is the angular momentum quantum number allowed to be?
n-1 but 0 is the least it can be
If you know n and L, then what are you describing?
a subshell
What letters go along with L for the various subshells? 0 1 2 3
0-s
1-p
2-d
3-f
What is the highest subshell?
f or 3
Give the protocol for naming a subshell
use value->nl
What does the magnetic quantum number tell?
Orientation in 3D space
If we know n, L, and M sub l we are describing?
an atomic orbital
Give the notation for each of the following orbitals. Determine if it is allowed, if not why?
a) n=4, L=1, m sub L=0
a)allowed 4p
Give the notation for each of the following orbitals. Determine if it is allowed, if not why?
b) n=2, L=2, m sub L = -1
Not allowed, because n & l cannot be equal
Give the notation for each of the following orbitals. Determine if it is allowed, if not why?
n=5, L=3, m sub L= +3
Allowed, 5f
