First lectures on Electronic Structure

My first impression on this unit was pretty good. This unit started off pretty easy. The first part of this unit involved using formulas to calculate certain things involving light energy. We learned two basic formulas for the speed of light (C = frequency x wavelength) and energy (Planck's constant x frequency). We basically apply these two formulas to solve for one of the variables. We also have different units so we need to use the conversion factor to make correct calculations. We also learned about how to locate the electrons in an atom. This was very confusing at first as I had no background knowledge to understand the lecture. I did however catch on to the lesson and found it to be fairly easy. I hope it stays that way.
