Atomic Structure (Physics)

Recall cards on the quantum structure of atoms. The hydrogen atom and its three quantum numbers n, l, and m, the quantized energy E_n = -13.6 eV/n^2, orbital angular momentum L = sqrt(l(l+1)) h-bar, space quantization, and spectroscopic s, p, d, f notation. The orbital magnetic dipole moment, the Bohr magneton, and the Zeeman effect. Electron spin with s = 1/2, the Stern-Gerlach experiment, the Pauli exclusion principle and the building-up of the periodic table. Atomic spectra and selection rules, characteristic X-rays and Moseley's law, bremsstrahlung, and the physics of lasers including stimulated emission, population inversion, and gain media.
