Document Summary

Gives a limit to how certain we can be. Remember, the more certain a measurement, the smaller the uncertainty ( x and u) Ideally, these uncertainties would go to zero, but the inequality tells us it can"t go lower than h / 4 . In the same shell (n value), lower l values = lower energy. The periodic law properties recur throughout the elements, when arranged by atomic mass. But there was no explanation for these properties. Electron configuration: distribution of eletrons through the orbitals can explain these properties. All orbital discussion has centered on the h electron. Spin quantum number (ms) needed to describe the electron within an orbital only +1/2 or -1/2. First 3 quantum numbers give location, 4th gives spin. In all cases, ms does not indicate energy. Observation of he: both electrons in the ground state have the same quantum numbers, needed ms to differentiate.
