introduction to quantum mechanics electrons

Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom - Two new theories came to substantially modify Bohr's Atomic model. They a..

In the nineteenth century scientists saw enough evidence to prove that each element has its distinctive atom. But all tem atoms contain identical electrons. In spite of the fact that electrons carry negative charge, atoms as whole were found to be neutral. This led to the fact t..

Although the Lewis structures give an idea of the valence electrons around the atom, in reality it does not precisely locate the position of the electrons in the chemical bond. The behaviour of electrons in molecules and compounds is made by the valence bond theo..

Orbitals of electrons in atoms differ in size shape and orientation. Definite energies and angular movements characterize atomic orbitals. The state of an electron in any atom is defined by certain permissible values of energy and angular momentum, which describe its location wi..

Schrodinger wave equation, when solved for hydrogen atom gives mathematical Y functions, which describe the allowed energy states in an atom. It is observed that physical meaningful solutions required three constants n, l and m, which are called quantum numbers. Each electron in..

The Azimuthal quantum number determines the angular momentum of the electron, denoted by the letter 'l'. The value of 'l' gives the sub level or sub shell in a given principal energy shell to which the electron belongs. It can have only positive integral values from z..

It is observed that the electron is not only revolving around the nucleus but it is also spinning on its own axis. The spin of the electron produces a small magnetic field as a result of which the electron behaves as a 'tiny magnet'. This quantum number..
