Energy
Across
- 1. a disturbance that transmits energy through space or a medium without transferring matter itself, characterized by its periodic nature and properties like wavelength, frequency, and amplitude
- 4. the number of repeating events, such as wave cycles or electron transitions, that occur per unit of time
- 5. the capacity to do work, measured in joules
- 7. a discrete packet, or quantum, of electromagnetic energy, essentially a particle of light that carries energy but has no mass or charge
- 8. a mathematical function describing the wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom, defining the three-dimensional region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found with a certain probabilit
- 10. emission spectrum the unique set of specific wavelengths of light emitted by an atom when its electrons transition from a higher energy state to a lower one
Down
- 2. the maximum extent or height of a wave, measured from its equilibrium or resting position to its peak (crest) or trough
- 3. the distance between two consecutive points of identical phase in a wave
- 6. state the lowest possible energy state of an atom, molecule, or ion, representing the most stable configuration
- 9. orbital a mathematical function describing the wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom, defining the three-dimensional region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found with a certain probability.
