Uncertainty principle - W.Heisenberg

A

The position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously measured with high precision. There is a minimum for the product of the uncertainties of these two measurements.
For the motion and place: ΔpΔr = ħ/2
For the energy and time: ΔE

ħ = h/2(pi) (=1.055 * 10^-34 J*s)

Q

Bohr theory

A
  1. e- only travel in special orbits: at certain distances from the nucleus with specific E.
  2. e- of an atom revolve around the nucleus in orbits. These have definite E –> E shells/levels.
