Re: Units
If you look at each equation and plug in the units for each variable, solving for K will give you different units for zero, first, and second order.
The units are different because the equations are different.
For zero order, K = m/L x S
For first order, K = 1/sec
For second order, K= L/ mol x sec

Adding on,
P and D orbitals have a nodal plane, zero electron density (non-symmetric)

Re: Electron affinity vs electronegativity
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added, while electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a molecule of a compound.

Re: Understanding Lyman and Balmer series
You know that n=1 is the final because the electrons are dropping from a higher energy level (initial) to the Lyman series, n=1, which is a lower energy level and the final state.

Re: Ionic and Covalent Bonds
Ionic bonds involve the transferring of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal.
Covalent bonds involve non metals sharing electrons to form covalent bonds.

In resonance structures,
the electrons are delocalized. This means they are more spread out and evenly distributed.

Re: Resonance
They are more stable because the electrons are delocalized.
Rather than being in a single lewis structure, they are more spread out and not bounded to a single bond.
This lowers the energy of the molecule, stabilizing it.

Re: Principal Quantum Number
I agree with what was said above.
The Principle quantum level is the shell or energy level of an electron at ground state. At ground state electron's aren't excited and jumping energy levels.

Re: Atomic Spectra
When the energy of the photon matches the energy of an electron that photon is emitted or absorbed.
when a high energy electron drops to lower energy level, the difference in energy is given off as a photon.

A good tip to remember when converting units is to make sure they cancel until what you want is left. Set them up as ratios so that when you multiply terms the top and bottom cancel.

The empirical formula can be viewed as the smallest ratio of the molecular formula. If the molar mass of the empirical formula is the same as the molar mass of the molecular formula given in the question then they are the same.

The N=1 is known as the ground state. The gap between N=1 and N=2 is the largest, meaning it has the largest release of energy. The ultraviolent region is the largest release of energy.

The molar mass of elements and compounds can be found from the periodic table.
For example:

O: 16.00g
CO2: 12.01g + 16.00(2) = 44.01g
