Advanced General Chemistry I

This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of advanced general chemistry, starting with the historical development of the atomic theory by Democritus and John Dalton. It then delves into the modern understanding of atoms, including their structure, subatomic particles, and the principles of quantum mechanics. The lecture also explores the electromagnetic spectrum, wave-particle duality, and the behavior of waves in different mediums. Additionally, it discusses the revolutionary shift from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics in the early 20th century, highlighting the contributions of key figures like Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger.
