Document Summary
Important for precise measurements for subatomic particles x h/4 p. A mathematical function with values that vary with position. The probability of finding the particle in a region is proportional to the value of in that region. The probability that the particle will be found in a small region divided by the volume of the region. To go from probability density to probability, multiply it by volume of interest. Orbitals and wave functions are the same thing. (a wave function that is a solution with quantum numbers n,l,m is called an orbital). Solve to find wavefunctions and energy levels of an electron. Electron has a lower energy in the atom when it is far away from nucleus. As n increases, the energy of successive levels increases ---> electron is. The minimum energy needed to achieve ionization. N is related to the size and energy of the orbital. M l is related to its orientation in space.
