GENERAL CHEMISTRY 101
QUANTUM THEORY
of the ATOM
To understand the formation of a chemical bond between different chemical
entities, we need to know something about the electronic structure of the
atom. By necessity, we begin this topic(
i.e., see the appropriate
chapter(s) in your text!!) with a brief discussion of the nature of light
(see syllabus). It is important that you complete the following.....
"self-
.......exercises in each section!)
The Wave Nature of Light
•Electromagnetic Spectrum
Plank's Quantum Theory
Photoelectric Effect
•Classical Mechanics[Review]
•Superposition of Waves[Classical]
•'Applet'-Photoelectric Effect
Quantum Effects and Photons
Bohr's Model of the Hydrogen Atom
The Dual Nature of the Electron
•de Broglie Relation
•de Broglie Wavelengths
Quantum Mechanics and Atomic Orbitals
•Spectra/Line Spectra
Representations of Orbitals
•Atomic Orbitals
•Animated Orbitals
Orbitals in many-electron atoms
Electron Configurations

Self Assessment Tests Recent Information of New Elements!
Concurrently you should review the appropriate
rea(s)
as needed.
In addition to the regular homework assignments of problems from the text,
self paced exercises, activities, quizzes, and virtual/practicals are
incorporated in each major section of this course. It is important, to
the extent possible, that each student take maximum advantage of these
study aids!
