Atomic Architecture and Quantum Mechanics · Atomic Structure
The Quantum Mechanical Model
Exploration of wave particle duality and how electron configurations determine the chemical identity of elements.
Key Questions
- 1How does the behavior of light provide evidence for the electronic structure of atoms?
- 2Why are electrons restricted to specific energy levels rather than moving freely?
- 3How do probability clouds differ from the classical planetary model of the atom?
