Quantum Mechanics - basics (p1)

The Danish physicist Niels Bohr, was the first to describe orbits of fixed size and energy in which electrons are free to travel without losing energy and falling toward the nucleus. According to this model, published in 1913, electrons can only occupy or jump between fixed energy levels and cannot reside in between these levels. In addition, once in their "ground state," electrons maintain the energy they contain. This energy keeps them in perpetual motion, allowing them to resist the attractive force of the nucleus.

wheres part 2 damnit!!

The compression wave of the electron particle shrinks inverse the momentum relative the excitement upon observation.

too difficult for me to understand. I know atom is made of proton, neutron,and electron. And electron makes electricity.

its source and back a cycle or orbit and also a wave 120 cycles per second. Which is amazingly fast.If that cycle is stretched out it becomes a wave depending on which way one wishes to look at it or measure its motion. So an electron has a mass and is in motion around its nucleus but it also a cyclic wave. Still its a bit difficult and I'm not a quantum mechanic. Than again neither was Albert Einstein tell he thought up the General Theory of Relativity just a thought experiment pondering

the way I see or read about this particle/wave conjecture is to think of the electron as a drop of water.If you drop that drop of water into an ocean than it travels in a wave like pattern. But still that electron travels in orbit around the nucleus of the atom in a circular path But that orbital path can be described as a wave if time is factored in. Electric current it self is sent out at a certain cycle lets say 120 A.C. alternating current. So in one second it cycles to it source and back

@hrivethead :(

[hrivethead]

@luciencd Actually, it didn't but thanks for trying. You still haven't explained why it can be in that "distinct volume" as you say when the Bohr energy levels seem to prohibit this. This is why I wanted a physicist to answer :).

[luciencd]

@hrivethead The orbitals and shells you see are there because, as the electron is a probabilty wave, the electron becomes more than a point and shows a distinct volume where it can be. Even though as the video says, an electron cannot be in the middle of two orbits. We see with the electron double slit expiriment, that an electron can be in the form of a wave, that can be bigger than the actual electron. hope that answered your question. lol i have no degree and am in 10th grade, :P.

I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge was the first to describe orbits of fixed size and energy in which electrons are free to travel without losing energy and falling toward the nucleus.

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always was the first to describe orbits of fixed size and energy in which electrons are free to travel without losing energy and falling toward the nucleus.

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You The Danish physicist Niels Bohr, was the first to describe orbits of fixed size and energy in which electrons are free to travel without losing energy and falling toward the nucleus
