The periodic table and chemical periodicity are studied in this chapter: law of constant composition, molecular and molar masses, difference between empirical and molecular formula, chemical reactions and how to balance a chemical equation, groups and periods in the periodic table and their properties.
Quantum theory and atomic structure are studied in this chapter: Heisenberg uncertainty principle, Schrödinger equation, quantum numbers, electron spin, atomic energy states and electron configuration, Pauli exclusion principle, Hund’s rule, excited states, periodicity of atomic radii, ionization energy and electron affinity.
