Discrete energy levels (eigenvalues) in atoms (noticed by experiments in spectroscopy) could not be explained by Newtonian Mechanics. Also, the wave-like nature of electrons (eg: diffraction) indicated the first signs of wave-particle duality. These were the first clues.

Do you capitalize Quantum Field Theory?

Either way would probably be accepted. The "rules" state you must capitalize all parts of a "proper" noun, such as 'Golden Gate Bridge.' Problem is, there is no formal rule on whether a scientific theory is a "proper" noun, particularly when there is no name attached to it. For example, "Maxwell's Equations" would always be capitalized, while "quantum mechanics" is usually un-capitalized. I searched half a dozen sites for an answer to this but found no clue about a rule. So go either way that makes you happy, but (most of all) be consistent.


What element has the electron configuration of Kr 5s2 4d10 5p3?

Group 1- as the configuration is ns1. The Kr in the question indicates the Krypton core. The 5s1 is the clue - the period number is the same as the principal quantum number (in this case 5) so the element is in group 1 and period 5 - so it is rubidium.
