Across
  1. 4. the energy levels contained within a principal energy level
  2. 6. states that each electron occupies the lowest energy level available
  3. 7. the arrangement of electrons in an atom, which is prescribed by three rules
  4. 8. a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy
  5. 14. an atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves; also called the wave mechanical model of the atom
  6. 16. states that single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal-energy orbital before additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy the same orbitals
  7. 17. the lowest allowable energy state of an atom
  8. 18. predicts that all moving particles have wave characteristics and relates each particle's wavelength to its frequency, its mass, and Planck's constant
  9. 19. the major energy levels of an atom
  10. 20. the electrons in an atom's outermost orbitals; determine the chemical properties of an element
  11. 21. consists of an element's symbol, representing the atomic nucleus and inner-level electrons, that is surrounded by dots, representing the atom's valence electrons
  12. 22. a three-dimensional region around the nucleus of an atom that describes an electron's probable location
Down
  1. 1. a set of frequencies of electromagnetic waves given off by atoms of an element; consists of a series of fine lines of individual colors
  2. 2. effect a phenomenon in which photo-electrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface
  3. 3. includes all forms of electromagnetic radiation, with the only differences in the types of radiation being their frequencies and wavelength
  4. 5. n, which the quantum mechanical model assigns to indicate the relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals
  5. 9. states that it is not possible to know precisely both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time
  6. 10. the number of waves that pass a given point per second
  7. 11. states that a maximum of two electrons may occupy a single atomic orbital, but only if the electrons have opposite spins
  8. 12. the shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave; is usually expressed in meters, centimeters, or nanometers
  9. 13. the height of a wave from the origin to a crest, or from the origin to a trough
  10. 14. the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom
  11. 15. a form of energy exhibiting wavelike behavior as it travels through space; can be described by wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed includes visible light, microwaves, X rays, and radio waves
