Modern Atomic Theory

[Avery07]

So I'm about to pull my hair out over this atomic theory stuff. Or at least the early concepts of it. How well do we really need to know the ultraviolet catastrophe, photoelectric effect, bohr model, heisenberg uncertainty principle, schrodinger's equation, etc...

I know there's a few important general concepts which can be applied to atomic orbitals and structure but ugh.. I hate quantum mechanics.

Does destroyer even cover this? Has anyone had these type of questions on the DAT?

I think I had 1 on my DAT. It was very basic, like shuttles and subshuttles.

There are a few GC destroyer questions about shuttles and subshuttles, but that bohr equation and all that stuff, yeh I didn't wanna learn it cause I figured "if it showes up, its gonna be just 1 question, I can live with missing 1 question"

Yeh first chapter in KBB GC is annoying, but they get much better after that.
