Unit 4: L6
the numbered energy levels starting from the nucleus outward
A principal quantum number refers to:
quantum
Energy available or given off in specific, predictable quantities.
energy level
The broad bands or regions located around the nucleus where the electrons are found.
emission spectrum
The distribution of light when passed through a prism or other device that breaks the light into its individual components.
4
The maximum number of energy sublevels found in any energy level is:
multiple orbitals of specific magnitude within an energy level
What are energy sublevels?
a quantum release in energy as electrons drop back down to their ground state
What causes the lines in the emission spectrum for elements?
energy added = energy released
Which statement applies to the energy change illustrated in the quantized energy emission diagram?
