General Chemistry Pros Help ME!!

Ok guys, heres the deal, i have 75% in gen chem right now, but my professor said that if we do 80+ on the final, he will omit all the midterm marks and take the final mark. Now the problem is, I don't know all of my stuff.. I've read all of these pages listed here, and I still am unsure.. I don't think I know it all yet. Here is what I need help with, any links or explanations will be greatly appreciated. Some of these I get, but I don't understand the theory behind them.

Chemical Kinetics:
1st/2nd/3rd order rxns (I only understand how to interpret the graphs)
steady state approx. (im lost on this)

Intermolecular Forces:
vapor pressure (I think I have most of the theory on this one)
crystal structures (ccp/hcp..) (im lost on this)

Chemical Bonding:
hybridization (I understand, but I don't get the theory behind it..)
valence bond method (I have most of this one down)

Electrons & Atoms:
electromagnetic spectrum (I have most of this one down)
quantum theory (I understand some of it.. but not all of it)
bohr atom (I understand some of it.. but not all of it)
wave mechanics (im lost on this)
quantum numbers and orbitals (im kinda lost on this)
electron configuration (I understand, but I don't get the theory.)


Any links or anything will be appreciated, in the mean while I will read over my text book over and over and hopefully something will click.

Thank you everyone

I'd grab a bowl of cereal and dive into wikipedia. But that's just me

is this mcat related? if not, give chemical forums a try

Oops sorry, wrong forum =/

EDIT: Oh my god, thank you so much for throwing out chemicalforums, it is so useful!
