1
New cards

What are the four hydrogen jumps

3-2, 4-2, 5-2, 6-2

2
New cards

What does it mean when measurement has certain values

It is quantized

3
New cards

Light emitted or absorbed during a jump is called a what

A quantum

4
New cards

Louie De Boris proposes: what if electrons had wave properties meaning…

The electron can only exist in certain energy levels and there must be a whole number of wavelengths present

Hence quantum-quantized mech

5
New cards

Accelerating charges must emit..?

Light

6
New cards

A jump from one wave length to another is a…

Gain/Loss of whole number of electron wavelengths

7
New cards

an orbit is what type of motion ?

Accelerated

8
New cards

True or false? : electrons should continuously lose light and fall into the nucleus.

FALSE

  • they are not actually orbiting

9
New cards

Democritus suggests that matter was made of tiny invisible bits called

“Atomos” (atoms)

10
New cards

Thompson proposes negative electrons float in a positive mist

️ concept

11
New cards

Negative electrons surround the outside of a

Positive nucleus made of protons + neutrons

12
New cards

Individual atoms can emit

Energy levels are quantized and when electrons move between energy levels, atoms can emit light.

13
New cards

The emission spectrum tells us

The specific frequencies of light reveal the exact energy levels present within an atom's electrons

14
New cards

Energy levels which are infinite lead to

Atoms emitting light

15
New cards

Electrons only emit

1 red 1 green and 2 violets

16
New cards

AN ELECTRON CANT HAVE ANY ELEMENT IT WANTS, ONLY SPECIFIC ENERGY CALLED ENERGY LEVELS ELECTRONS JUMP BETWEEN LEVELS AND ABSORB SPECIFIC COLORS OF LIGHT

17
New cards

Energy levels are infinite and electrons can be in between true or false?

False

  • levels are infinite but electrons CANT be in between AT ALL

  • They disappear and reappear

18
New cards

Rutherford proposes there is an atomic nucleus

19
New cards

If all particles are also waves we need a

Wave length equation to predict their behavior.

20
New cards

Hamiltonian (H)

Represents the total amount of energy of a particle

21
New cards

What kind of motion is a wave?

Accelerated

  • continuously emitting light and collapsing into nucleus

22
New cards

Cloud of electrons surround

Nucleus

23
