Seeing the 1st year Chemists for one of their first contacts with Quantum Mechanics today. So taking along Styer's 'common misconceptions' to try and start them off on the right track!

Common misconceptions regarding quantum mechanics
American Journal of Physics 64, 31 (1996); https://doi.org/10.1119/1.18288

Is there any alternative / better / more recent version of this idea?

@Jarvist That’s a fun paper. In first year do they use a general chemistry textbook or are you straight into Atkins Phys Chem?

@lonepair Steiner's maths book, which I do not like.

There's lots of books on the first year's reading lists, but I'm not sure which, if any, they actually consult.
