Angular Momentum:

Angular Momentum = m*v*r


m is the mass of the electron (9.1094 * 10^-31)
v is the velocity
r is the radius around the nucleus

Emission and Absorption Spectra:


The spectrum of radiation emitted by a substance that has absorbed energy is
called the emission spectrum. Atoms, molecules or ions that have radiation are
said to be “excited”.
The study of the absorption of spectra is called Spectroscopy

Photoelectric effect:
Some metals, when exposed to a beam of light give out (eject) electrons.
– this is instantaneous (happens as soon as the light touches the metal)
– The number of electrons ejected is proportional to the brightness
– There is a minimum frequency, “the threshold frequency” for each metal. If
the light waves are lower than this frequency, the effect does not take
place
– equation: hv = hv + 1/2 mv^2 - h is the Planck constant (6.626 × 10^34
J⋅s) , v is the frequency of the light in Hertz (Hz), m is the mass of an
electron (9.1094 * 10^-31)
Charge on an electron:

-1.6 x 10^-19 C
C is Coulombs

Hydrogen has 3 isotopes


Protium - 1 proton, 0 neutrons
Deuterium - 1 proton, 1 neutron
Tritium - 1 proton, 2 neutrons
Isobars and Isotopes:
Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number and different mass numbers.
(Same number of protons, different numbers of neutrons)
Isobars are atoms with the same mass number and different atomic numbers.
(Same number of neutrons, different numbers of protons

c=v*λ
c is speed of light
v is frequency
λ is wavelength
