| Section | What's inside |
|---|---|
| 1. Fundamental Particles | e⁻ / p⁺ / n mass, charge, discoverer table |
| 2. Atomic Number & Isotopes | Z, A, N formulas; isotopes vs isobars vs isotones vs isoelectronic |

Top traps highlighted in the sheet:
- Cr (3d⁵4s¹) and Cu (3d¹⁰4s¹) exceptions — asked every year
- 4s is removed BEFORE 3d when forming cations
- Heisenberg minimum = h/4π (not h/2π)
- Lyman = UV only; only Balmer is (partially) visible
- Intensity in photoelectric effect increases electron count, NOT kinetic energy
hey all the topics are not covered and notes not included in it all formulas are not provided and especially i asked you not to keep any kind of placeholders in the pdf.

It's all nice but I told you there should be no placeholders right what do you always add them in the notes I can't able to read them even an ai can't recognise them how can i

You're right, I'm sorry. The problem is clear — all the Greek letters (ν, λ, φ, ψ, Δ, α, β), superscripts (¹, ², ³), subscripts (₀, ₁, ₂), and symbols (ℏ, Å, →, ≥) show as empty boxes because ReportLab's default Helvetica font doesn't support Unicode. I already confirmed DroidSans font supports ALL these characters. Let me rebuild the entire PDF using DroidSans so every single symbol renders correctly.
