CHEM 111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 19: Diiv, Quantum Number
Document Summary
Ground state: the lowest energy level (n=1) Excited state: the highest energy level when electron jump from ground state to excited state, it will gain energy, n=2 is the first excited state. Absorption: electron gaining energy by moving from a lower level to a higher level. Emission: an electron releasing energy in the form of light by moving from a higher to lower energy level. When electron absorbs energy, it is in the form of wavelength with distinct color. When emitting energy, the energy is reflected in the form of different light energy. De broglie: all matter travels as a wave, the end always has to come back to where it started, = h/mv, [ is measured in meters] [m= kg] [v=velocity in sec- or m/s] Proposed that information about a particle can only be obtained by solving an equation for a wave.
