What is a Double Covalent Bond?
The law that states that the change in the internal energy of a closed system is equal to the amount of heat supplied to the system minus the amount of work done by the system on its surroundings

This is the definition for the hamiltonian operator.
What is an operator in quantum mechanics corresponding to the total energy of system? (Also accepted in equation form operator H = V (PE operator) + K (KE operator))
A gas is expanded to twice its original volume with no change in temperature is an example of this type of process.
What is Isothermal Expansion

He played a role in the discoveries of vitamins A, B, and D. A dorm at KU was named after him until its demolition in 2015.
Who is Elmer McCollum?
These are the 4 postulates of Quantum Mechanics. (Name at least two for points)
What are:
The wavefunction fully describes the state of a system and the wavefunction squared describes probability density.
For every classical observable there is a linear operator in QM
Can only observe the eigenvalues of an operator
The expectation value is the average of many measurements
