a state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state | Excited State |
the lowest energy state of a quantized system | Ground State |
the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion | Ionization Energy |
the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons | Electronegativity |
all of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation | Electromagnetic Spectrum |
6.02x1023 the number of atoms or molecules in 1 mole | Avogadro's Number |
the energy change when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom | Electron Affinity |
the SI base unit to measure the amount of the substance | Mole |
a unit or quantum of light; particle of electromagnetic radiation | Photon |
a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons | Orbital |
the arrangement of electrons in an atom | Electron Configuration |
the principle that states that two particles of a certain class cannot be in exactly the same energy state | Pauli Exclusion Principle |
