Chemistry Lecture Review on Moles and Light

These flashcards cover key concepts related to moles, light, and their properties as discussed in the chemistry lecture.

Mole

A quantity that represents 6.022 x 10^23 of atoms, molecules, or particles.

Molar Mass

The mass of one mole of a substance, measured in grams per mole.

Avogadro's Number

6.022 x 10^23, the number of particles in one mole of a substance.

Wave-Particle Duality

The concept that light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties.

Frequency (ν)

The number of waves that pass a given point per second.

Wavelength (λ)

The distance between successive peaks of a wave.

Energy (E)

The capacity to do work; in the context of light, related to frequency and wavelength.

Planck's Constant (h)

A constant value (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s) used to relate energy and frequency.

Amplitude

The height of a wave, which can indicate the intensity or brightness of light.

Spectroscopy

The study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation.

Photon

A quantum of light or electromagnetic radiation.
