#1
Front (Question)

isotope

Back (Answer)

atoms of same element that differ in mass (i.e. same number of protons, different number of neutrons)

#2
Front (Question)

What does RAM use?

Back (Answer)

weighted average of isotopic masses

#3
Front (Question)

What does x-axis in mass spectrum show?

Back (Answer)

mass/charge ratio of different ions

#4
Front (Question)

What does y-axis in mass spectrum show?

Back (Answer)

percentage abundance of ions

#5
Front (Question)

absorption spectrum

Back (Answer)

shows radiation absorbed as atoms move from lower to higher energy level

#6
Front (Question)

emission spectrum

Back (Answer)

produced when an atom moves from a higher to lower energy level

#7
Front (Question)

What do the colors present in an emission spectrum correspond to?

Back (Answer)

colors missing in an absorption spectrum

#8
Front (Question)

quantized

Back (Answer)

can only change energy by discrete amounts

#9
Front (Question)

Is the energy of excited electrons quantized?

Back (Answer)

yes otherwise would be continuous emission spectrum

Front (Question)

hydrogen spectrum ultraviolet light

Back (Answer)

electron falls to n=1

#12
Front (Question)

hydrogen spectrum infrared radiation

Back (Answer)

electron falls to n=3

#13
Front (Question)

Why do lines converge at higher energies?

Back (Answer)

energy levels inside atom are closer together at higher energy
