Georgia Public Broadcasting Video Lectures
This public station has an entire high school level chemistry course online. This is not an honors-level course like ours
but the videos are useful nonetheless. Each video is a 30 minute lecture on a very specific topic. If you want to try their
note-taking system for the lecture, print out the “Note Taking Guide” on the page.

AP CHEMISTRY
Note: ChemGuy uses the AP approach using the quantum numbers l, m, and s in addition to n
l designates the sublevel and is equivalent to s, p, d, f, etc.
m designates a particular orbital within the sublevel (one of three possible orbitals in the p sublevel, one of five
possible orbitals in the d sublevel, etc.)
s designates either an electron spin up or spin down
AP Chem Atomic Theory 1 - energy, waves, and Planck's constant
AP Chem Atomic Theory 2 - energy levels; Bohr calculation for energy of electron.
AP Chem Atomic Theory 3 - explains the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
AP Chem Atomic Theory 4 - teaches quantum numbers
AP Chem Atomic Theory 5 - finishes the quantum number lesson
AP Chem Atomic Theory 6 - explains electron configurations; Aufbau principle
AP Chem Atomic Theory 7 - finishes electron configurations and takes up periodic table trends

Chapter 38: Spectral Lines, Bohr’s Theory, and Quantum Mechanics
Online Concept Tutorials
Bohr Model of the Atom This tutorial discusses what spectral lines are and explains how they are produced by electron
energy transitions in atoms. It then presents the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom and shows how to use that model to
calculate the properties of hydrogen’s spectral lines

Quantum Numbers
This tutorial lists the quantum numbers that specify an orbital state in an atom and discusses the significance of each
number. It then discusses which combinations of quantum numbers are possible and uses that information to develop
an understanding of the electron configurations of various elements.
(All done using quantum numbers - see ChemGuy description above to “translate” into our textbook terminology.)
