Why can't we see atoms?
We see with light energy and the wavelength is larger than the object and so it is not reflected.
Which of the following could be represented by a physical model?
A cell.
Which of the following statements best describes electromagnetic radiation?
Light waves are OSCILLATIONS of electric and magnetic fields.
How are frequency and wavelength related?
The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.
(HF, SW)
Rank the following by relative frequency from highest to lowest:
Cosmic rays (CR), blue light (BL), red light (RL), radio waves (RW) CRBLRLRW- Curb, Blur, Laroo!
What is the main tenet of Plank's quantum hypothesis?
Energy comes in DISCRETE PACKETS of a certain MINIMUM size.
Which of the following best explains what is happening when an aton emits light?
An electron is dropping from a higher to a lower energy level with the difference in energy between the two being emitted as light.
What is an atomic orbital?
Probability cloud that shows the probable location of an electron within a given atom.
Which of the following elements has six valence electrons?
O
Which of the following is NOT an ion?
O2 (there is no charge on it)
Which of the following would be a negative ion with a single negative charge?
An atom with 11 protons and 12 electrons. 11P 12E
Which of the following elements will most likely form an ion with a -2 charge?

What is a molecule?
A group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds
Which of the following statements best describes a relatively polar bond?
A very electronegative atom and a WEAKLY eletronegative atom are covalently bound
