6. Electron Shell Model, Quantum Numbers, and PES (Intro to Solid-State Chemistry)
Last week we talked about-- we went quantum. We had Dr. Quantum show us the way. And this week, we're going to go quantum for electrons, right? That's what we're going to do this week. These are my two favorite quantum mechanicists of all time. I believe that this sign is meant to teach us something about the double slit experiment. And just as you're leaving the lot, knowing that there is some chance that your one car could actually split into two, go through both exits, and recombine. Just like an electron does through two slits. And in fact, we know that that's possible now. And if we wanted to, you could write down-- from de Broglie-- you could write down like the wavelength of a car, right? So like in a car-- I don't know, your lambda of the car would be equal to h over mv. And if you plus some numbers in, this is going to be something like oh, you know, maybe 10 to the minus 37th meters. It's small, but it's a wave. Your car is a wave...
