MCAT General Chemistry: Atomic Structure and Atomic Theory

This MCAT Content video covers atomic structure and atomic theory you will need to know for the chem/phys section of the MCAT. I review Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, Electron Configuration, Mass Numbers, Quantum Numbers, Effective Nuclear Charge, Isotopes, the Photoelectric Effect and Planck's Constant, Quantum Numbers, and Electron Configuration.
