Six lessons cover this chapter, one for each section. Open any of them on its own below, or meet it in place inside chapter 6 of the book. Tick a lesson off once you can predict what it will do before you touch it.

1

Light and quantized energy

Change wavelength and frequency and see the energy change.

2

The Bohr model and line spectra

Jump an electron between levels and watch a spectral line appear.

3

Quantum numbers and orbital shapes

Turn s, p, d and f orbitals in space.

4

Electron configurations

Fill orbitals in order for any element.

5

Orbital diagrams and Hund's rule

Place electrons in boxes and obey Pauli and Hund.

6

Periodic trends

Watch radius, ionization energy and electronegativity move across the table.
