• are able to carry out the basic analysis of quantum-mechanical energy levels and wavefunctions of the hydrogen atom
• can explain the structure of the periodic table, and are able to derive the electron configuration terms of the elements
• are able to apply matrix mechanics and perturbation theory to do quantum mechanical calculations
• know the quantum-mechanical description of rotations and the properties of the angular momentum operator

This course gives a broad introduction into the basics of quantum mechanics (QM) and its applications to the electronic structure of small systems. In part 2 we apply the basic principles learned in part 1, to explain the electronic structure of elements, and thus the periodic table.
In this course we treat the electronic structure of atoms in terms of atomic orbitals, their possible configurations and terms, to make clear how the periodic table is formed.
