SHORT ANSWER
48. According to Heisenberg's ________ principle, it is impossible to simultaneously measure the exact
location and energy of an electron.
ANS:
uncertainty
49. A point in a standing wave that has zero amplitude is called a(n) ________.
ANS:
node
50. The ________ quantum number is given the symbol . This quantum number is related to the
orientation in space of an orbital.
ANS:
magnetic
51. A ________, designated by the Greek symbol , describes the wave behavior of an electron in an
atom.
ANS:
wavefunction
52. The Bohr model predicts that the energy of an atom's electron is ________, meaning that the electron
can only occupy orbitals of specific energies.
ANS:
quantized
53. What evidence does the photoelectric effect provide that photons are not only waves?
ANS:
The photoelectric effect provides evidence that an electron is ejected when a single particle of light (as
opposed to a wave of light) interacts with a metal surface. When photons of sufficient energy strike a
metal surface, electrons are ejected. The number of ejected electrons is proportional to the number of
photons striking the surface (which is consistent with both wave and particle theories of light).
However, the energy of an ejected electron is independent of the number of photons striking the
surface. If the interaction of matter and light was dependent on wave properties, then increasing the
intensity of the light would increase the energy striking the surface and thus increase the energy of an
ejected electron. Furthermore, there is a minimum wavelength of light required to eject an electron
from a metal surface. At longer wavelengths, no photons are ejected from a metal regardless of the
intensity of the light.
54. The size of an electron orbital is often chosen to be the distance within which 90% of the electron
density is found. Why is the orbital radius not chosen to be the distance within which 100% of the
electron density is found?
ANS:
The probability of finding an electron decreases exponentially as distance from the nucleus increases.
However, the probability does not reach zero until the electron is an infinite distance from the nucleus.
