1. C=vλ
2. E=hv
3. KE=½mu²
4. KE=hv-φ
5. En=-(ZhcRH)/n²
6. rn=(n²a0)/Z
7. p=mu=h/λ
8. ΔxΔp≥h/(4π)
9. n-l-1
10. l

You tell me.

8. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. That's the only one I know off the top of my head. What's the "l" thing about?

By the way, Heisenberg thought of the uncertainty principle while having one of his numerous affairs (he was in an "open marriage"). And Einstein was in denial about it for many bitter years. "God does not play dice," he insisted.

The Uncertainty Principle does not necessate randomness, in my understanding. However, it does preclude accurate observation.
