Schrödinger's big ideas:
Schrödinger's equation gives information about the electron in terms of probability but not absolute position.
Calculations for the excited states of the hydrogen atom (corresponding to Bohr's energy levels) also reveal that the overall distribution or "shape" of the orbital is not always the same.
Finally (for these introductory remarks) the equation gives provocative information about the way in which electrons seem to defy our common notions about the motion of particles. |
