Particle Or Wave Flashcards
_ said electrons were both particles and waves
Louis de Broglie
de Broglie proved that waves can behave like particles and that
Particles can behave like waves
Werner Heisenberg said we cannot know exactly where an electron is located when
It behaves like a wave
We cannot know exactly where electron is located when it behaves like a waves because
Waves extend into space (go on and on)
Heisenberg developed the _ theory
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Heisenberg uncertainty principle states it is impossible to know simultaneously and with certainty
Both the momentum and position of a particle
Heisenberg uncertainty principle means _ Bohr came up with were wrong
Structured orbits or energy level paths
The orbits/energy levels were not
Defined paths
Orbits/energy levels were more like _ where electron might be located
An area of space
The Schrödinger equation is the basis for
Quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics is the science that explains the interactions of (2)
Atoms
Subatomic particles
Schrödinger’s first name
Erwin
Schröedinger’s uses both _ behavior in same equation
Wave
Particle
(Schröedinger) the probability of finding an electron in a certain place is proportional to
The square of the wave function
(Schröedinger equation) the most likely place to find a photon is where
The intensity of the light is the greatest
