The Schrödinger Equation shows its full power when we "solve it in a hydrogen atom." We glimpse an extraordinary world of quantum clouds of probabilities, from which all of chemistry comes to life. Atomic orbitals are three-dimensional spatial regions where the electron lurks somewhere around the nucleus. In this video, we'll take a journey into this extraordinary, invisible, and bizarre world. Using the tools available to us in quantum mechanics, we'll try to understand wave functions, quantum numbers, spherical harmonics, and many other quantum wonders. #quantum #chemistry #science #yousciences #physics #doctorgiux #quantum #mathematics #orbital
