Typo in problem 8 of PS #3
There was a typo in question 8 of the originally-posted version of PS #3. The orbitals labeled as 4s and 4p should have been labeled 2s and 2p. This has been fixed on the posted p-set, so the typo only applies to anyone who printed their p-set prior to 5:45 pm on Feb. 22nd.
For those of you looking to get a solid start on your p-set this weekend, please note that we have covered all of the material needed to solve problems #1-#13. We will cover the material related to #14-#17 on Monday. Have a great weekend!
