Quantum Mechanics and Split Peas
... We have seen that Bohr was oh-so-close to explaining the true nature of the electron. However, Bohr’s theories were too simplistic for multi-electron systems. It was evident that a new type of thinking would be needed to describe the what’s and where’s of the electron. Luckily, some pretty famous sc ...

... where the second equality follows from a change of variables in each integration. Using the definition of the travel time: v T = a, we learn that ρ(x) = a1 , i.e. the probability that the particle is in an interval dx is proportional to dx (ρ dx = dx/a) – that makes sense, the larger the interval, t ...

Hydrogen atom
A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the elemental (baryonic) mass of the universe.In everyday life on Earth, isolated hydrogen atoms (usually called ""atomic hydrogen"" or, more precisely, ""monatomic hydrogen"") are extremely rare. Instead, hydrogen tends to combine with other atoms in compounds, or with itself to form ordinary (diatomic) hydrogen gas, H2. ""Atomic hydrogen"" and ""hydrogen atom"" in ordinary English use have overlapping, yet distinct, meanings. For example, a water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms, but does not contain atomic hydrogen (which would refer to isolated hydrogen atoms).
