Principal quantum numbers (n).
What else can I help you with?
What is the term for an electron energy level that results from splitting a main energy level?
energy sublevel
Which term refers to the energy emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one?
neutron
What term is used for the electron in the outermost shell or energy level?
These are the valence electrons.
What happens to the energy level as electrons are passed along in electron transport?
They begin to electrolyze, a term used for giving off static charge.
Which term refers to the region of an atom where an electron is most likely to be found?
That would be the electron cloud. This is like the orbital model where there are electrons in each orbit level but the electron's location can not be predicted so it is said to be most likely at a point in the electron cloud.
What term is used to describe definite discrete amount of energy required to move an electron from a low shell to a higher shell?
A quantum of energy is the amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another energy level. http://www.slideshare.net/kmawhiney/electrons-in-atoms-presentation/
What does the term "s 1" signify in the field of chemistry?
In chemistry, the term "s 1" signifies the electron configuration of an atom or ion where there is only one electron in the s orbital of the outermost energy level.
What term is defined as a wave that can travel through empty space and is formed by energized electrons falling from one electron level to a lower electron level?
Light
What do we call a region in space where an electron with a particular energy is likely to be found?
We could use the term orbital if it refers to an electron bound in an atom. The term atomic orbital or electron orbital might be applied in this case. They are areas of probability where, because an electron has a given energy, it may be more likely to be found. Got a link to the Wikipedia on atomic orbitals for ya. Check it out and gain in knowledge.
What is the term for the shorthand description of the arrangement of electrons by sublevels according to increasing energy?
The term is electron configuration. It describes how electrons are distributed among the various atomic orbitals based on their energy levels.
What is meant by the term energy pyramid?
It is when there is most energy at the producer level and each level you move up there is less energy.
What happens to an electron during a quantum leap?
In physics, a quantum leap or jump is the change of an electron from one energy state to another within an atom. It is discontinuous; electrons jump from one energy level to another instantaneously, with no intervening or intermediary condition. The phenomenon contradicts classical theories, which expect energy levels to be continuous. Quantum leaps are the sole cause of the emission of electromagnetic radiation, including light, which occurs in the form of quantized units called photons. Ironically, when laymen use the term colloquially, they use it to describe large jumps in progress, when in reality a quantum leap is a very small change of state.
