STORY
Unit 4 – Schrödinger Equation Solution (Qualitative)
,HYDROGEN ATOM
The hydrogen atom, consisting of an
electron and a proton, is a two-
particle system, and the internal
motion of two particles around their
center of mass is equivalent to the
motion of a single particle with a
𝑚1 𝑚2
reduced mass (𝑚 = ).
𝑚1 +𝑚2
, CLASSICAL CRISIS: WHY THE
ELECTRON SHOULD CRASH—BUT
DOESN’T
CLASSICAL ORBIT QUANTUM “CLOUD”
• electron spirals & crashes in • stable, fuzzy, never collapse
10−11 s.
