Re: Hybridization

The hybridization is associated withthe atom's steric number. Which is "steric number=# of atoms bonded to the atom + # of lone pairs the atom has"

Re: Electronegativity vs. effective nuclear charge

Electronegativity is the process of atoms to attract electrons in order to build bonds. Effective nuclear charge is the nucleus's pull and strength to hold in the electrons.

Re: Advice for studying

I do best when I study in a group. I understand information better when other people explain and give their input into various topics!

Re: Matter and wavelike properties

For large objects the wavelength would be far to small to be observable.

Re: Wave Function vs Orbital vs Subshell vs Shell

A quick explanation is that the atomic orbital is math function in which explains the wave behavior of either 1 electron or an electron pair in an atom and are composed of electrons in the same energy levels but have different spins. The wave functions are exact physical solutions of Schrodinger equ...

Re: En equation

Yes, I believe so, however keep in mind that when applying this number to the context of various problems the value of the photon emitted will not be negative.

Re: Constants

Planck's constant connects the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation to the energy in a quantum or also known as a photon. Rydberg's constant connects the electromagnetic spectra of an atom and is a physical constant.
