Mon-Day 1
AP Chem - we learned the relationship between pairs of quantum numbers i.e. n determines the possible l values, l determines the possible ml values.
These Schroedinger equation possible solutions to electron energies tells us physically impossible electron energies, that is, electron energies that would cause a given electron wave to interfere itself out of existence.
We listed, in order of increasing energy (sum of n+l, with a tie meaning that the lower n value is the lower sublevel of energy) the possible sublevels of energy of an electron in an atom.
We then began, element by element, using the Aufbau Principle to determine the ground state orbital diagrams and electron configurations.

Bio - we defined genetic mutation, its causes, and types; we also mentioned large-scale chromosomal mutations that we will see in a later unit.
We did an explicit example of a "substitution" mutation, and saw that, at most, this could change the amino acid sequence by one amino acid.
