What is an continuous spectrum | When white light is passed through a glass prism it produces a array of colours |
What is a line emission spectrum | a series of coloured lines that correspond to specific frequencies of light emitted when electrons in an element are excited |
What is an electron configuration | How the electrons are arranged in the shells/energy levels of an atom |
Example of emission line spectrum in everyday life | Sodium streetlights glow yellow |
Describe the flame test | Fume cupboard
Concentrated Hydrochloric acid
Platinum wire
If wire is clean there should be no colour produced
Crush salt with Pestle and mortar
Identify the metal from the salt |
What is an every level | Fixed energy level that an electron in an atom may have |
What is the ground state | Electrons occupy the lowest available energy level |
What is the excited state | Where electrons occupy higher energy levels than those available in the ground state |
Describe Bohr’s theory | Bohr states that electrons reside in fixed energy levels
The hydrogen gaseous ( named substance) electrons are in the ground state
They occupy the lowest energy level and are stable
When and electrical current is passed through the hydrogen gas a fixed amount of this every is absorbed and electrons jump to the next available energy level. Excites state electron are unstable and fall back down to lower levels after a short time and release a photon of light in a definite frequency. Since only definite amounts of energy are emitted, this implies that electrons can occupy only definite energy levels.
Each definite amount of energy emitted gives rise to a line in the emission spectrum. |
What is the formula for difference in energy | E2-E1 = hf |
Which is the visible series of energy levels | N=2 Balmer series(red visible light) |
Why do different metals produce different flame colours | Each element has a different electron configuration
Therefore different electron transitions are possible
So different frequencies of light will be emitted from each element |
What does AAS stand for | Atomic absorption Spectrometry |
What is AAS | When white light is passed through a gaseous sample of an element, certain wavelengths were missing.
These lines correspond excatly to the lines produced in produced in the emission line spectrum |
What can AAs be used for | Identifying dangerous elements in water |

What is a Sublevel | A subdivision of a main energy level and consists of one or more orbitals of the same energy |
Who found the wave particle duality | Louis de Broglie |
What is Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle | States that it is importable to measure both velocity and position of an electron at the same time |
Limitations of Bohr’s Theory | 1. He didn’t take into account wave particle duality
2. Heisenbergs uncertainty principle is conflicting
3. Didn’t take into account sub levels |
What is an orbital | Region in space where there is a high probiotic of finding an electron |
Who devised a equation to work out the probiotic of finding an electron in a particular sublevel | Erwin Schrödinger |
Describe a S sub level | Spherical and each contain 1 orbital |
Describe a P sub level | Dumbbell shaped
Conduits of three orbitals (Px ,Py, Pz) |
Describe D orbitals | They contain 5 orbitals |
How many electrons does each orbital hold | 2 |
What is wave particle dualitiy | All moving electrons actually move in a wave motion |
