CHEMISTRY- 8.4 The Wave Nature of Matter-STUDY GUIDE WITH 100% CORRECT SOLUTIONS
de Broglie Wavelength - ✔✔Wavelength of a moving electron, related to energy.
Louis de Broglie - ✔✔Proposed wave nature of electrons in 1924.
Electron Diffraction - ✔✔Electrons display wave properties when passing through slits.
Interference Pattern - ✔✔Pattern formed by waves overlapping, showing
constructive/destructive interference.
Davisson-Germer Experiment - ✔✔First evidence of electron wave properties via diffraction.
Atomic Dimensions - ✔✔Spacing required for interference, comparable to atomic scale.
Single Electron Interference - ✔✔Individual electrons interfere with themselves, not each
other.
Kinetic Energy - ✔✔Energy associated with an electron's motion, affects wavelength.
Planck's Constant (h) - ✔✔Fundamental constant relating energy and frequency in quantum
mechanics.
Wave-Particle Duality - ✔✔Concept that particles exhibit both wave and particle properties.
Quantum Mechanics - ✔✔Branch of physics describing behavior of subatomic particles.
, Stationary States - ✔✔Electron states in atoms that prevent collapse into nucleus.
Uncertainty Principle - ✔✔Limits precision of simultaneously measuring position and
momentum.
Indeterminacy - ✔✔Inherent unpredictability in the behavior of quantum particles.
Slit Experiment - ✔✔Demonstrates wave properties of electrons through double slits.
Diffraction - ✔✔Bending of waves around obstacles, revealing wave nature.
Interference - ✔✔Result of overlapping waves, creating regions of varying intensity.
Electron Beam - ✔✔Stream of electrons used in experiments to observe wave behavior.
Mass (m) - ✔✔Property of an electron affecting its wave characteristics.
Velocity (v) - ✔✔Speed of an electron, inversely related to wavelength.
Self-Interference - ✔✔Phenomenon where a single electron creates an interference pattern.
Bohr Model - ✔✔Early atomic model explaining electron behavior in orbits.
Velocity - ✔✔Speed of an object in a specific direction.
Wavelength - ✔✔Distance between successive peaks of a wave.
