<p>hey does anyone know of a website online that explains quantum mechanics very clearly. i need to learn the quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) and how they apply to the periodic table and electronic configuration for a quiz in my general chem1 class. if anyone knows of such a website, and would please post it here it would be very appreciated. thank you!</p>

<p>“explains quantum mechanics very clearly”</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>wrong forum…</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you don’t need to understand quantum mechanics to do a chem1 quiz. The quantum numbers for electron configurations are quite straightforward if you know the rules contained in that wikipedia page. However, if you somehow don’t understand still, there is an excellent website called physicsforums that has a large homework section.</p>
<p>yeah i’ve been looking into wikipedia a lot. physicsforums seems interesting. thanks guys!</p>
<p>Don’t stare at it too long.</p>
<p>You might enjoy reading Dirac’s classic: “The Principles of Quantum Mechanics”, then you can go around and impress people with your knowledge of kets and bras.</p>
<p>trust me you don’t need THAT much quantum mechanics for general chem. Know how to manage the quantum numbers and know some rules (Like Hund’s, Wolfgang Pauli, Heisenberg’s uncertainty, etc.).</p>
