Unit 1 Vocabulary
Across
- 1. Atoms or groups of atoms with a charge.
- 4. Negatively charged Ions.
- 5. The possible locations around an atom where electrons having specific energy values (quantum number) may be found. Divided into sublevels s, p, d, and f.
- 8. If there are two electrons in an orbital, they must have opposite (paired) spins.
- 12. Positively charged subatomic particle. Contained inside the nucleus.
- 15. When filling sublevels other than s, electrons are placed in individual orbitals before they are paired up.
- 16. Horizontal row on the periodic table.
- 17. Absorbed when an electron moves from its ground state to its excited state.
- 20. the most probable location for finding an electron.
Down
- 2. Neutrally charged subatomic particle.
- 3. Energy given off in the form of light by an excited electron.
- 6. Tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself when it combines with another element.
- 7. Negatively charged subatomic particles.
- 9. Depends on the number of energy levels and the overall charge of the nucleus .
- 10. Positively Charged Ions.
- 11. Atoms of the same element which have a different Mass Number due to a differing number of neutrons.
- 13. Principal energy levels are broken down into these...
- 14. Identifies an element. The number of protons.
- 18. Vertical Column on the periodic table.
- 19. The center of an atom. Contains the protons and neutrons.Has an overall positive charge.
