Paul Bernazzani Physical Chemistry II Class Notes Activation Energy: The minimum energy required to be input for a chemical reaction to occur for a given system. Gibbs Free Energy: Difference in the amount of energy from the systems initial state to its final state.

E total= E potential + E kinetic + E internal E internal = E electronic + E vibrational + E rotational E electronic >> E vibrational >> E rotational E kinetic = h * = E photon

BOHR Model:

The photoelectric effect is an experiment where light was shined onto gold foil and a coil was placed near it to measure the kinetic energy of the electron given off by it.
