In this station, we compare the Bohr model with the model of quantum reflections and show that we can understand the structure of the periodic table by counting the nodal lines of quantum states.
Begin stationWe discuss atomic models and show how understanding the concept of quantum mirrors can help us to understand the periodic table.
We discuss the spectrum of the hydrogen atom.
We discuss the mathematical description of the hydrogen atom’s spectrum by the Balmer formula.
We discuss Rutherford’s scattering experiment that lead to the discovery of the atomic nucleus.
We discuss the Bohr model which leads to a new interpretation of the Balmer formula.
We discuss approaching the quantum dimension by learning about quantum states and operators.
We construct the s, p, d and f orbitals by using the eigenstates of a rotation operator.
We discuss the structure of the periodic table by using the quantum organ.
