August 29 to September 2
Goals:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Light, Waves, and Electrons
Electronic Structure
Quantum Numbers
Naming Binary Molecular Compounds and Acids
Objectives:
When finished the student will be able to:
1. calculate the wavelength, frequency, and energy of a photon of light.
2. compare and contrast the wave, particle duality of light.
3. calculate the energy level transition of an electron within a hydrogen atom given
the energy, frequency, or wavelength of light emitted or absorbed during the
transition.
4. use the de Broglie equation to determine the wavelength of a moving electron.
5. explain why there is an uncertainty in the location of an electron in an atom.
6. use quantum numbers to define the region of space an electron occupies.
7. write the name or formula of a binary molecular compound or an acid.
