This topic was probably the easiest to grasp for me. You just have to remember the four subshells and their locations (

First semester), and then you are able to formulate a configuration for an element. It is essentially their address, and it leads you to where they are located. It was fairly easy to make a configuration for an element as well as locate an element from a given configuration. There are 6 exceptions that we were accountable for, and they weren't difficult to remember either.
Thanks for the great post Avery! I agree that this lesson was the easiest to remember, as there was really no math and it had simple patterns to memorize. I enjoy the pictures that you provided, they really helped to further explain what you were talking about. Also, I enjoyed that you included the six exceptions, because many people forget about these for the exams. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI also thought this lesson was an easy concept to grasp. I like how you included the way to remember the different sublevels.
