Name:

22. What is meant by the wave-particle duality of nature?
     

26. Explain how the movement of an electron is similar to that of fan
     blades.
    

27. Explain what it is that the four quantum numbers represent.
    

29. What does the principle quantum number n represent?
     

32. Complete the chart

Level Number of sublevels Sublevel letter
1
2
3
4

36. What are the possible values for the fourth quantum number? What
      do these numbers represent?
     

37. State the Pauli Exclusion Principle. What does this principle tell us
      about two electrons occupying the same orbital?
     

40. What elements are composed of atoms having the following electron
      configurations?
     

1s22s22p63s23p4
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d5
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p3

1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d4

45. Draw electron (Lewis) dot diagrams for the elements with Z equal
      to 7, 15, 33, 51 and 83
      Sorry folks, this one you have to do on paper.

46. Selenium (Z = 34) was discovered by Berzelius in 1817. Write its
      electron configuration and its dot diagram.
      This also must be done on paper.

49. An atom's electron configuration ends in 5s24d105p4. Identify the
     element and write its electron configuration.
     Yep, this one too.

53. Explain why Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has a great effect
     on our ability to observe electrons and other very small particles.
    

55. When an electron moves from the n = 2 to the n = 4 state, does it
      gain or lose energy? Is a photon emitted or absorbed?
     

57. In the electron dot diagram for nitrogen, electrons from which
     orbitals are shown? Which electrons are not shown?
    

62. Draw electron dot diagrams for sodium (Z = 11) and chlorine (Z = 17).
     Can you explain how they might combine to form a compound?
