 The Electron
Electron Configuration, Orbital Notation, and Electron Dot Notation

·        Here is an animation showing orbital notation.  What can you find that is wrong with this?  http://lectureonline.cl.msu.edu/~mmp/period/electron.htm

·        A listing of the electronic configuration for the elements including the exceptions.  Can you find the exceptions?  More importantly, can you explain why the exceptions occur?  
http://chemistry.about.com/library/weekly/aa013103a.htm

·        Electron dot notation explained.  We have used a modified version of this.
http://www.fordhamprep.com/gcurran/sho/sho/lessons/lesson38.htm

·        Here is a pdf file explaining how to do orbital notation.
http://courses.nnu.edu/cm222ta/Helps/OrbitalBoxNotation.PDF

·        A site explaining electronic notation with examples
http://members.aol.com/profchm/enota.html

Another review of quantum numbers and electronic configurations

Properties of Light, Bohr’s Explanation, Quantum Theory
·        Nice description of excited atom releasing light, also a listing of electromagnetic spectrum.  Read excited atom and electromagnetic description.
http://www.howe.k12.ok.us/~jimaskew/plight.htm

·        A simplified look at Bohr’s Atom
http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/quantumzone/bohr.html

·        A somewhat simplified explanation of how Bohr’s explanation explained the hydrogen spectrum
http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys314/lectures/bohr/bohr.html

Flame Tests

·        A simplified listing of flame tests for a variety of colors
http://chemistry.about.com/library/weekly/aa110401a.htm

·        A mineral site listing the flame test colors, spectral lines and properties of element.  It also lists many of the mineral compounds in which the element is found.
http://webmineral.com/help/FlameTest.shtml

·        This site gives a nice snapshot of various flame tests.  If you missed seeing flame tests, you need to consult this page.
