10 Questions
Bohr assigned a quantum number, l, to each orbit.
False
When an electron jumps from a higher-energy orbit to a lower-energy orbit, a photon is emitted.
True
The Lyman series corresponds to electrons dropping to n=3.
False
In the ground state, n=2, the atom emits energy.
False
Electrons occupy one-dimensional regions of space called orbitals.
False
The principal quantum number n defines the shape of the orbitals.
False
The angular momentum quantum number, l, describes the shape of the space that the electron occupies.
True
Electrons in an atom can have any continuous energy value.
False
The Paschen series corresponds to electrons dropping to n=4.
True
Adding energy to an atom causes the electron to move to a lower-energy orbit.
False
Explore fundamental concepts in quantum physics such as quantum energy, blackbody radiation, and the particle nature of light. Learn about the quantization of energy and the behavior of particles at the atomic level.
