Schrödinger wave equation, significance of Ψ and Ψ

2. quantum numbers, radial and

angular wave functions and probability distribution curves, shapes of s, p, d, orbitals,

Aufbau and Pauli exclusion principles, Hund's multiplicity rule, Electronic configurations of the elements, effective nuclear charge.

II. Periodic Properties:
