Study guide for Chapter 11 & 4 Test

Here are the topics to know for the test for Chapter 11 & 4 that will be on Friday.

Chapter 11:
  • what is electromagnetic radiation
  • know the different types of electromagnetic radiation and what is the wavelength and amount of energy for the different types
  • know what wavelength means in regards to a wave
  • understand that light has a dual nature as both a wave and a packet of energy called a photon
  • understand what occurs when an electron absorbs a photon and what occurs when the electron gives off the photon
    • know the difference between ground state and excited state
    • understand why there are different colors of photons that we observe when atoms are excited
  • understand the difference between an orbit and a orbital
  • know the 4 principal energy levels and the sublevels of s, p, d and f
    • know how many electrons are held in each of the sublevels
    • know how to determine the electron configuration (1s2 and so forth) of an atom
    • know the shapes of s, p and d orbitals
    •  
  • know what a valence electron is and its role in determining an atom's properties
  • know how atom size changes on the periodic table
  • know how the ionization energy changes across a periodic table
Chapter 4:
  • know how to name compounds in three different ways
    • when the first element is a metal and the second element is a nonmetal
    • when the first element is a transition metal and the second element is a nonmetal
    • when both of the elements are nonmetals
  • know how to name compounds that contain  polyatomic ions
  • know how to determine the formula by knowing the name of the compound (reverse of knowing the formula!)
