Atomic Theory, Light, and Quantum Numbers

A self-checking practice quiz on atomic theory, light, and quantum numbers at the General Chemistry level: the nature of light, frequency, wavelength and photon energy, the Bohr model and hydrogen transitions, quantum numbers, subshells and orbitals, and electron configurations. Every question is multiple choice and shown one at a time, and the set is drawn fresh each time you take it. At the end you receive a report showing how many you answered correctly.
