In the van der Waals equation, a
corrects for intermolecular interactions
In the van der Waals equation, b
corrects volume to account for non-negligible molecules
light's particle properties
quantized into photons

Bohr Postulates
Atoms revolve around the nucleus on fixed circular orbitals
Electrons can jump from one orbital to another, and emit or absorb energy when they do
Pauli's Exclusion Principle
no two electrons can have identical values for all four quantum numbers
paramagnetic
has unpaired electrons
diamagnetic
has no unpaired electrons
energy is emitted when
an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level
energy is absorbed when
an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level
electron affinity
the amount of energy released when an electron is added
ionization energy
the energy required to remove an electron
