Document Summary

Given the equation for the energy of a particle in a one dimensional box, you should be able to calculate the energy for a given quantum number, n: e = h n2 2. The solutions to schr dinger"s equation define the shape of real orbitals that make up the atoms and molecules around us and determine how atoms bond together. We wanted to show you how we arrive at this conclusion and that the nature of all matter around you can be described from first principles, using schr dinger"s equation. What is the difference in energy between states defined by n =
