This lecture covers the quantum model of the atom, describing an electron with four quantum numbers, electron configuration, and the wave function. It explains the probability of electron presence, orbital shapes, and the Pauli exclusion principle. The lecture also discusses exceptions to the aufbau rule, electronic configurations, and the stability of orbitals.
