Document Summary

A prism disperses the colors of white light. Each element has a characteristic line spectrum because of the emission of light from atoms in the hot gas. de broglie relation: =h/mv. Quantum mechanics: could be used to explain the wave properties of electrons in atoms and molecules. Mathematically describes the wave properties of submicroscopic particles. Quantum mechanics allows us to make statistical statements about the regions in which we are most likely to find the electron. Solving schrodinger"s equation gives us a wave function, repesented by greek letters psi. (look at his slides) According to quantum mechanics, each electron is described by four quantum numbers: The one on which the e of an elecorn in an atom primarily depends. The smaller the value of n, the lower the e and the smaller the orbital. Orbitals with same value for n are said to be in the same shell. Distinguishes orbitals of a given n (shell) having different shapes.
