  2. Hydrogen atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_atom

    Depiction of a hydrogen atom showing the diameter as about twice the Bohr model radius. (Image not to scale) A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen.The electrically neutral hydrogen atom contains a single positively charged proton in the nucleus, and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force.

  3. Bohr model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model

    The Bohr model is a relatively primitive model of the hydrogen atom, compared to the valence shell model. As a theory, it can be derived as a first-order approximation of the hydrogen atom using the broader and much more accurate quantum mechanics and thus may be considered to be an obsolete scientific theory.

  4. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    MO diagram of dihydrogen Bond breaking in MO diagram. The smallest molecule, hydrogen gas exists as dihydrogen (H-H) with a single covalent bond between two hydrogen atoms. As each hydrogen atom has a single 1s atomic orbital for its electron, the bond forms by overlap of these two atomic orbitals. In the figure the two atomic orbitals are ...

  5. Bohr–Sommerfeld model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr–Sommerfeld_model

    Orbitals of the Radium. (End plates to [1]) 5 electrons with the same principal and auxiliary quantum numbers, orbiting in sync. ([2] page 364) The Sommerfeld extensions of the 1913 solar system Bohr model of the hydrogen atom showing the addition of elliptical orbits to explain spectral fine structure.

  6. Molecular orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital

    Electron wavefunctions for the 1s orbital of a lone hydrogen atom (left and right) and the corresponding bonding (bottom) and antibonding (top) molecular orbitals of the H 2 molecule. The real part of the wavefunction is the blue curve, and the imaginary part is the red curve. The red dots mark the locations of the nuclei.

  7. Period (periodic table) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_(periodic_table)

    Hydrogen readily loses and gains an electron, and so behaves chemically as both a group 1 and a group 17 element. Hydrogen (H) is the most abundant of the chemical elements, constituting roughly 75% of the universe's elemental mass. [1] Ionized hydrogen is just a proton. Stars in the main sequence are mainly composed of hydrogen in its plasma ...

  8. Grotrian diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotrian_diagram

    A Grotrian diagram of the hydrogen atom. Only transitions between adjacent columns are allowed, as per the selection rule =. A Grotrian diagram, or term diagram, shows the allowed electronic transitions between the energy levels of atoms. They can be used for one-electron and multi-electron atoms.

  9. Fine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure

    Energy diagram (to scale) of the hydrogen atom for n=2 corrected by the fine structure and magnetic field. First column shows the non-relativistic case (only kinetic energy and Coulomb potential), the relativistic correction to the kinetic energy is added in the second column, the third column includes all of the fine structure, and the fourth ...
