Lecture 6 of MIT's 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science (Fall 2014), taught by Catherine Drennan: where the electron is likely to be found, radial probability distributions and the hydrogen wavefunctions, with a guest segment on spin and magnetic resonance imaging that makes a fine bridge to the next chapter.

MIT OpenCourseWare · Barton Zwiebach
Barton Zwiebach sets up hydrogen's Schrödinger equation at the board in a 21-minute segment of MIT's 8.04. Keep section 1's picture in hand as he works: a radial part in r times an angular part in θ and φ, and look for where each quantum number will come from.

The 8.04 segment on the degeneracy of hydrogen's spectrum and the features of its solutions. Check its bookkeeping against section 5's count: in level n, l runs from 0 to n − 1 and brings 2l + 1 values of mₗ each, n² spatial states in all.

MIT OpenCourseWare · Jeffrey C. Grossman
Jeffrey Grossman's freshman lecture on quantum numbers and the shell model. This link starts at the Shielding and penetration chapter (40:02 in YouTube's auto-generated chapters): section 7's story of inner electrons screening the nucleus and lifting the l degeneracy. Rewind for chapters on the atomic potential, radial functions, the angular and magnetic quantum numbers, and spin and Pauli, a gentle review of the whole lesson.

MIT OpenCourseWare · Allan Adams · 2013
Allan Adams' celebrated course starts from superposition and the experimental facts, builds the wavefunction, operators and the Schrödinger equation, then tours scattering, hydrogen, identical particles and band structure before closing on entanglement and Bell's theorem. Calculus and a little linear algebra are enough to keep up.

MIT OpenCourseWare · Robert Field · 2017
Quantum mechanics as chemists use it, taught by the spectroscopist Robert Field: the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering, boxes and oscillators, hydrogen and many-electron atoms. Strong on spectroscopy, the experimental face of quantization.

Parth G
Parth G explains why the tidy shell picture of the atom misleads, then introduces the principal quantum number n and the orbital quantum number l that label real atomic states, with a short look at the other two and the exclusion principle. Watch for his account of subshells and orbital angular momentum, then let this session sharpen it: for l = 1 the full angular momentum is √2 times ħ, while its component along any one axis is at most ħ.
