Document Summary

The wave function must be continuous: the principle quantum number is related to the size and energy of the orbital. As n increases, the orbital becomes larger and the electron spends more time farther from the nucleus. Means that the electron can take only definite orbits and not any random orbit. Niels bohr had postulated that the angular momentum of an electron in orbit around the nucleus of the atom is equal to an integer multiplied with h/ 2 , or: n h/2 = mvr. We get the equation now for standing waves: n =2 r. Aufbau principle: as protons are added one by one to the nucleus to build up the elements, electrons are similarly added to their atomic orbitals, example: hydrogen is 1s: Hund"s rule: the lowest-energy configuration for an atom is the one hauling the maximum number of unpaid electrons allowed by the pauli principle in a set of degenerate orbitals, example: carbon is 1s22s22p:
