Section: Module 3: Lesson 6: Development of Quantum Theory | General Chemistry 1 | NextGenU.org

  • Student Learning Outcomes:

    Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to:
    • Describe the concept of wave–particle duality that was observed in electromagnetic radiation to matter.
    • Explain the quantum mechanical description of electrons in orbitals.
    • Attribute the 3D shape of an orbital and how electrons are arranged within the atom to the radial distribution function.
    • List and describe traits of the four quantum numbers that describe orbitals and specify the location of an electron in an atom.
    • State the postulates of Bohr’s theory of the hydrogen atom.
    • Relate the energy of a photon to the associated energy levels of an atom.
    Approximate time required for the readings for this lesson (at 144 words/minute): 2 hours and 39 minutes.
