Are you consistently losing points on Quantum Mechanics because of thinking electrons orbit the nucleus like planets? If so, you're making the exact same error as 80% of your class.
Your Timeline
- Minute 1: Identify the variables. Don't start solving.
- Minute 2: Check for edge cases. Are you about to commit the sin of thinking electrons orbit the nucleus like planets?
- Minute 3-5: Execute. Keep this application in mind: Electrons exist in probability clouds (orbitals). You cannot know exactly where an electron is and how fast it's moving at the same time (Heisenberg Uncertainty).
Stick to the timeline. Methodical execution beats panicked guessing every single time.
