This video tutorial by Mrs. Z covers the evolution of atomic theory, focusing on the wave-particle duality of electrons and the modern understanding of atomic structure. It explains the concept of orbitals, subshells, and energy levels, and provides a detailed guide on writing electron configurations for various elements using the periodic table. The tutorial also highlights the significance of the Schrodinger equation in describing electron behavior, although calculations are not performed.
