The hydrogen atom....

In P-chem we just finished a unit on the hydrogen atom and the shrodinger equation.  It is the mathematics of atomic electrons- their location, momentum, and energy.

I learned that the hydrogen atoms' electrons have no angular momentum!! Do you know what this means? This means that the electron does not move in a circle, like previously supposed by Bohr.

LIES

Instead, the electron moves towards the nucleus, and then away from the nucleus over and over again. In and out. In and out. Without going sideways at all.

It has a pathlength that looks more like this:

Take that sixth-grade science. 

AND, the lack-of-angular-momentum applies to the lowest energy orbital of every atom.  How cool.

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.    John 13:35
