  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. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    This table shows the real hydrogen-like wave functions for all atomic orbitals up to 7s, and therefore covers the occupied orbitals in the ground state of all elements in the periodic table up to radium and some beyond. "ψ" graphs are shown with − and + wave function phases shown in two different colors (arbitrarily red and blue).

  4. Hydrogen spectral series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_spectral_series

    The spectral series of hydrogen, on a logarithmic scale. The emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen has been divided into a number of spectral series, with wavelengths given by the Rydberg formula. These observed spectral lines are due to the electron making transitions between two energy levels in an atom.

  5. Wave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

    The displayed functions are solutions to the Schrödinger equation. Obviously, not every function in L 2 satisfies the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom. The function space is thus a subspace of L 2. The displayed functions form part of a basis for the function space. To each triple (n, ℓ, m), there corresponds a basis wave function ...

  6. Spherical harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_harmonics

    The table of spherical harmonics ... As is known from the analytic solutions for the hydrogen atom, the eigenfunctions of the angular part of the wave function are ...

  7. Wikipedia : Featured picture candidates/Hydrogen wave function

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hydrogen_wave_function

    Visualization of the hydrogen wave function, prominently used in several articles. Hydrogen is made of only one electron and one proton, so it's understanding forms a basis for the understanding of more complex elements (as evident in the use of this image in articles below). Articles in which this image appears

  8. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    The Schrödinger equation for the electron in a hydrogen atom (or a hydrogen-like atom) is = where is the electron charge, is the position of the electron relative to the nucleus, = | | is the magnitude of the relative position, the potential term is due to the Coulomb interaction, wherein is the permittivity of free space and = + is the 2-body ...

  9. Azimuthal quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_quantum_number

    When solving to obtain the wave function, the Schrödinger equation resolves into three equations that lead to the first three quantum numbers, meaning that the three equations are interrelated. The azimuthal quantum number arises in solving the polar part of the wave equation—relying on the spherical coordinate system , which generally works ...
