Sorry I didn't get this up sooner, something came up yesterday.
Monday in class we transitioned from our discussion of light and waves to the behavior of electrons. This is partially explained by deBroglie's relationship which describes the wave-like character of moving electrons. Since chemistry is all about electrons, we needed a system to address individual electrons in an atom so we talked about quantum numbers and began to look at how we could use a shorthand version of quantum numbers (called electron configurations) to begin to predict properties of elements. We'll pick up there on Wednesday.
There is a new Mastering Chemistry assignment posted, due Friday. The monthly Chem Club meeting is also being held this week, Wednesday night at 7:30pm in SL104.
