Document Summary

Electron representation: periodic table- be familia44r with the first column and last four columns, noble gases (far right column) are nonreactive because their outer shell is full (contains. Lasers: laser- an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, stimulated emission refers to a process that occurs when light and atoms interact. If an electron is in an excited state, and one photon of energy passes nearby, the electron can jump to a lower energy state, releasing a second photon. Share electrons: the number of neutrons in an atom is the difference between the atomic mass and atomic number, the number of protons is atomic number. Types of chemical bonds: atoms that differ from the magic numbers by one or two electrons in their outermost shell are more reactive- they want to fill the shell, these atoms tend to form ionic bonds.
