Scientific Method -- Laws/ theories, etc "
Periodic table -- history, forms, etc"
Sig Figs, SI units, etc"
Stoichiometry-- mole calculations, limiting reagents, empirical/molecular formula, yield"

Waves -- frequency, wavelength, etc"
Study of matter and different forms of the atom -- thomson, rutherford, bohr, schrodinger "
Quantum theory -- photoelectric effect, wave functions, bohr, debroglie, uncertainty principle"
Quantum numbers"
Electron systems-- pauli exclusion, hund's, aufbau "
representations of Ψ"
radial and planar nodes"
atomic spectra"
periodic trends -- atomic radius, ionization energy"
lewis structures -- covalent bonding"
bonding"
hybridization"
molecular orbital theory"
Scientific Method"
Traditional view of science"
starts with observations which lead to laws and theories which are repeatedly tested-- laws and theories
are proved by experimental evidence"
Karl Popper's view of science"
a theory is scientific if it can be refuted by evidence. if it's not refuted its not scientific "
refutation argues nothing can be proven because an infinite amount of data/evidence would be required
for past, present and future. theories can never be proven, only disproven. science thus proceeds through
conjecture and refutation "
induction-- simple and oversimplified law"
Laws vs Theories"
theories can contain many laws"
theories cannot be proved, but have not been refuted"
laws are subsumed by theories"
laws describe theories explain "
Kuhn's Scheme"
scientific thinking occurs when a majority of scientist agree a new explanation or theory is better than the
old"
prescientific stage → paradigm → anomalies → revolution → crisis "
