The Quantum Atom
Exploration of the transition from the Bohr model to the quantum mechanical model using probability and orbitals.
Key Questions
- 1What evidence do we have that electrons exist in specific energy levels rather than random paths?
- 2How does the wave nature of electrons change our understanding of atomic boundaries?
- 3Why does the periodic table's structure reflect the filling of subshells?
