Document Summary

Chem 1110: principles of chemistry 1 chapter 6 lecture notes. Elements on periodic table were periodic because of quantum theory: electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation energy transmitted through space at the speed of light (in a vacuum) by waves having both electric and magnetic properties. Speed of light (vacuum) = c = 2. 998 x 10^8 (m/s) High frequency means short wavelength: low frequency means long wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation: two oscillating fields: 1 electric and one magnetic: perpendicular to the direction of propagation, magnetic field is much weaker, photons. 1st principle of quantum mechanics: energy is not continuous; it is discrete, composed of particular called quanta or photons. Energy of a single photon e=hv: h = planck"s constant = 6. 626 *10^-34 jxs. Photoelectric effect: photoemission of electrons by a metal, no electrons below a threshold frequency, kinetic energy of electrons increases with frequency, quantum mechanics and the wave nature of matter.
