- Major Points:
- Electromagnetic Radiation: energy is being transmitted from one place to another by light
- Wavelength: the distance between two consecutive wave peaks
- Frequency: indicates how many wave peaks pass a certain point per given time period
- Quantized: only certain values are allowed
- Electron Configuration: electron arrangement
- Orbital Diagram: also called a box diagram, in which orbitals are represented by boxes grouped by sub level with small arrows indicating the electrons.
- Metals: typically have these properties: a lustrous appearance, the ability to change shape without breaking, and excellent conductivity of heat and electricity.
- Nonmetals: typically do not have the same properties as metals.
- Metalloids: elements that exhibit both metallic and nonmetallic behavior
