What is this?
This is a little tool to attempt to visualize the 'quantum states' of an electron orbiting a Hydrogen atom.
In technical terms, these shapes are surfaces of constant probability of finding the electron in that spot if its position were to be measured. Feel free to read the details page for a more complete picture!
- is the 'principal quantum number,' it determines the energy of the state.
- is the 'orbital quantum number.'
- is the 'magnetic quantum number.'
