Review for unit 2

Note: you can use this if you want if it aids your study. As a disclaimer: There may be things on here not on the test, or things on the test not in here. These are just things that might be important.
Chapter 10 Waves
-Types: Longitudinal/compression, shear/transverse (what can they travel through?)
-Properties: Wavelength, frequency, crest, trough, amplitude
-What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
-Behaviors: reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference (destructive and constructive)
-Standing waves
-Doppler effect
-Sound and light; frequency and amplitude
Chapter 11 The Properties of Light
-Wave nature of light (reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference) (double slit)javascript:void(0)
-Be acquainted with figure 11.8 (electromagnetic spectrum)
-Particle nature of light (photoelectric effect)
-Wave energy is amplitude; particle energy is frequency
-Is light a wave or particle? Neither; exhibits properties of both.
-Figure 11.17 (wave-particle duality)
Chapter 12 Physical Properties of Matter and the Continuous Model
-States of matter
- Physical properties of states of matter
-Melting and Boiling Points (figure 13.9)
-conductors/insulators
-Density=mass/volume
-Color; Discrete spectra (Absorption and Emission spectra)
Chapter 13 The Molecular Model of Matter
-4 assumptions
-Physical states of matter (figure 13.5)
-Maybe figures 13.6 and 13.7
-Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules
-What is happening at molecular level with conduction, gas pressure, mixing substances?
Chapter 14 The Nuclear Atom
-Continuous model (previous chapter)
-Brownian motion
-Molecular model (previous chapter)
-Discharge tubes
-Thomson plum pudding model (figure 14.1)
-Rutherford’s gold foil experiment (14.2)
-Rutherford Solar System model (figure 14.3)
-Couldn’t explain discrete spectra
-Bohr Model
-if electrons were orbiting, they’d be radiating energy and falling into the nucleus
-also, why were they in specific orbits?
-Quantum Model
Chapter 15 Duality of Matter
-wavelength=Planck’s constant/momentum (momentum=mass x velocity)
-acts like wave when observed (sure of motion)
-acts like particle when unobserved (sure of position)
-Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Chapter 16 Quantum Model of the Atom
-Orbital: standing waves of probability
-Exclusion principle: Shell (1,2,3,etc) , Orbital (s,p,d,f) , Spin (up or down)
-Energy wells
Chapter 17 The Periodic Table
-Atomic theory (pg 200)
- families (columns), periods (rows)
-Periodic Trends (Atomic Size (figure 17.7), Ionization Energy (figure 17.8), Chemical Properties (valence electrons, etc))

I think I'm ready for the test now. When is the Testing Center open? It's over? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I MISSED FINALS?
