A. Electrons as Waves Louis de Broglie (1924) Applied wave-particle theory to e- e- exhibit wave properties QUANTIZED WAVELENGTHS
A. Electrons as Waves QUANTIZED WAVELENGTHS
A. Electrons as Waves EVIDENCE: DIFFRACTION PATTERNS VISIBLE LIGHT
B. Quantum Mechanics Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Impossible to know both the velocity and position of an electron at the same time
B. Quantum Mechanics Schrödinger Wave Equation (1926) finite # of solutions quantized energy levels defines probability of finding an e-
