Term

Definition
uses mathematical eqns of wave motion to generate a series of eqns called wave eqns:
1. an electron in the atom is described as a standing wave 2. by defining the electron as s standing wave, quantization is introduced into the description of electronic structure 3. each wave fxn is associated w/an allowed energy value 4. the value of the wave fxn at a given point in space is the amplitude of the wave 5. at any point in space, the square of the value of the wave fxn defines the probability of finding the electron (electron density) 6. Schrodinger's theory defines energy of electron, uncertainty principle says there is uncertainty in is location, so we describe the probability of the electron being w/in a certain region in space when in a given energy state |
