Additional reading for Chapter 1

Here are some links you might find useful. In particular, the animated tutorials are a good learning aid; they come from a textbook called Chemistry - the Science in Context by Gilbert, Kirss and Davies and published by WW Norton.
- TutorialsElectromagnetic Radiation | Light Emission and Absorption | Bohr Model | De Broglie Wavelength | Quantum Numbers | Electron Configuration
- Nobelprize.org has a great online resource called The Quantised World (you'll recognize some of the figures from the lecture book).
- an excellent, if somewhat long, tutorial from Physics2000, on the Quantum Atom. It goes on to Beyond the Hydrogen Atom.
- Check out the Orbitron, a gallery of atomic orbitals and molecular orbitals.
- Breaking Bad - Walt's science lesson

Would it be possible to have the due dates for the Mastering Chemistry practice assignments renewed? Thanks!

The chapter 1 homework is due tomorrow night, but we have not even finished chapter 1 in class yet. Is there any way that this assignment deadline could be extended to give us more time to do the questions? I think this is a fair request because the homework is not for marks and we have not finished the chapter yet.
Thank you.
