How Quantum Mechanics makes the atom 3 dimensional, effects the shape of molecules, and dictates the periodic table's configuration

About this episode

The download mentioned: Chemistrymadesimple.net/2

In this episode we consider how quantum mechanics effects the atomic model and more:

  • There's more to electron shells
  • Subshells and orbitals
  • 3D shape of orbitals
  • Orbitals, bond angles and shape of molecules
  • The reason the periodic table gets broader down the table
