Atomic Structure: Quantum Mechanics

This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of atomic structure and quantum mechanics, exploring topics such as the structure of atoms, the wave-particle duality of matter, electromagnetic radiation, and the principles of quantum mechanics. It delves into the historical development of atomic theory, from Democritus to modern quantum physics, and discusses the forces that hold atomic nuclei together. The presentation also includes an overview of the Bohr model and its limitations, as well as the wave functions and energy levels of atoms.
