of the ATOM
Date:

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-paced"... Take an exam "online" ... .......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 Electron Configurations and the Periodic Table Predicting 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!
