Lecture Description
In this lecture Professor Sylvia Ceyer covers the electron structure of multielectron atoms, beginning with simple electron configurations. The Aufbau Principle is explained, as well as the Pauli Exclusion Principle and Hund's Rule. Core electrons and valence electrons are discussed, concluding with electron configurations of ions and photoelectron spectroscopy.
Course Description
This is an introductory chemistry course, emphasizing basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. This course also introduces the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules.
