Quantum Numbers spdf
I HATED teaching quantum numbers, orbitals, (electron configuration was okay..), but one day I sat down and decided I was going to master this section of chemistry. I wanted a chart that would be simple, straight forward, and eliminate the confusion with figuring out the principle quantum numbers and spin. This is it.I did the first one for the students in an effort to help you explain the process of finding the quantum numbers. I use this worksheet as a classroom activity. First, explain what
