  • Describe what caused the colored flames in the flame test lab.
    electrons absorbed energy from the flame; jumped to higher less stable energy level; released energy as they fell back to ground state
  • How many valence electrons does every element in group/family 2 of the periodic table have?
    2
  • What is the symbol for frequency?
    v

    Joules (J)
  • What is the unit for wavelength?
    m

    h = 6.626 x 10^-34 Jxs
  • What is the speed of light?
    c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s/s
  • What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy energy level 2?
    8
  • How many valence electrons does every element in group/family 14 of the periodic table have?
    4
  • What are valence electrons?
    electrons in the highest (outer most) energy level
  • In electromagnetic wave calculations, what is "c"?
    speed of light= 3.00x10^8 m/s/s
  • The atomic emission spectra uses which part of the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum?
    visible light
  • True or False: Elements in the same period have similar chemical properties?
    False
  • What is the symbol for wavelength?
    λ (lambda)
  • What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy energy level 3?
    8
  • How does an electron become "excited"?
    The electron absorbs energy and jumps to a higher energy level.

    c=λv -->v=c/λ=(3.00x10^8)/(5.25x10^-7)= 5.71x10^14 Hz
  • How can you use the periodic table to determine the number of energy levels an atom has?
    look at the period (horizontal row) the element is in

    18
  • True or False: Electrons move in circular paths around the nucleus of the atom.
    False

  • Why can atomic emission spectra be used to identify unknown samples?
    because the wavelengths emitted from each element are unique to that element (the color flame is unique to the element)
