  2. Modern valence bond theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_valence_bond_theory

    Heitler and London's original work on VBT attempts to approximate the electronic wavefunction as a covalent combination of localized basis functions on the bonding atoms. [6] In VBT, wavefunctions are described as the sums and differences of VB determinants, which enforce the antisymmetric properties required by the Pauli exclusion principle.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

    [1]: 6 Finding a theory of everything is one of the major unsolved problems in physics. [2] [3] Over the past few centuries, two theoretical frameworks have been developed that, together, most closely resemble a theory of everything. These two theories upon which all modern physics rests are general relativity and quantum mechanics.

  4. Valence bond theory - Wikipedia

    For example, the carbon in methane (CH 4) undergoes sp 3 hybridization to form four equivalent orbitals, resulting in a tetrahedral shape. Different types of hybridization, such as sp, sp 2, and sp 3, correspond to specific molecular geometries (linear, trigonal planar, and tetrahedral), influencing the bond angles observed in molecules. Hybrid ...

  5. Crystal field theory - Wikipedia

    A V 3+ complex will have a larger Δ than a V 2+ complex for a given set of ligands, as the difference in charge density allows the ligands to be closer to a V 3+ ion than to a V 2+ ion. The smaller distance between the ligand and the metal ion results in a larger Δ, because the ligand and metal electrons are closer together and therefore ...

  6. Unified field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_field_theory

    In physics, a unified field theory (UFT) is a type of field theory that allows all fundamental forces and elementary particles to be written in terms of a single type of field. According to modern discoveries in physics, forces are not transmitted directly between interacting objects but instead are described and interpreted by intermediary ...

    The electric charge Q, third component of weak isospin T 3 (also called T z, I 3 or I z) and weak hypercharge Y W are related by = +, (or by the alternative convention Q = T 3 + Y W). The first convention, used in this article, is equivalent to the earlier Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula. It makes the hypercharge be twice the average charge of a ...

  8. Dirac–von Neumann axioms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac–von_Neumann_axioms

    The Dirac–von Neumann axioms can be formulated in terms of a C*-algebra as follows.. The bounded observables of the quantum mechanical system are defined to be the self-adjoint elements of the C*-algebra.

  9. Quantum field theory - Wikipedia

    [3]: 25 It was not until 20 years later that a systematic approach to remove such infinities was developed. A series of papers was published between 1934 and 1938 by Ernst Stueckelberg that established a relativistically invariant formulation of QFT. In 1947, Stueckelberg also independently developed a complete renormalization procedure.
