The final episode of our article, in which we try to develop an understanding of atomic structure and the periodic table, from the beginning of secondary school/junior-high level, to first/second year undergraduate physics/chemistry, via one fictional conversation. Find Parts 1 – 5 on our blog page. Sigrid has just asked Sally whether ‘l=0’ corresponds to the […]

Atomic structure and the periodic table (Part 1 of 6)
In this article, we hope to develop an understanding of atomic structure and the periodic table, from the beginning of secondary school/junior-high level, to first/second year undergraduate physics/chemistry, via one fictional conversation. We hope that people at any stage of that journey will find a section that speaks to them. We would love it if it […]
