Hello,
I am starting to study Chemistry and have come across a hump. The book I am learning from uses a Quantum Mechanical Model to describe atoms... Is it necessary to learn this in order to understand chemistry? or should I be looking for a new book...

Analytical Chemistry needs some qualitative (and maybe quantitative) understanding of the physics else) for chemistry depends a lot on what you will specialize in:
Organic Chemists function get to understand much QM at all.

Hi there!
can anyone please explain to me the term "stability" for atoms. What is stability when talking about radioactivity, and has this to do with how the atom reacts with other atoms (like H + O + H => water). How is it called when an atomic element...

Hello, all.
I wanted to complete the first semester of physics over the summer at a local college -- unfortunately, 'General Physics I' was full. I opted to take 'Concepts in Physics w/ Lab' instead and take General Physics II during the fall. However...

Proton number determines chemistry. In a nuclear explosion protons are
ejected and captured by other atoms. They are transmuted then into an
atom that is different than the orginal...

The way you love big words I would have thought
you also knew, is to explain transmutation ... .
Mensa that BURT did NOT say that proton number was the ONLY thing that
determines chemistry.
Elements have the same chemistry? Please note, Mr.
