Chapter 11.2, Problem 6RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The motion of electrons around the nucleus is to be written according to the wave mechanical model.

Concept Introduction:The wave mechanical model of the atom focuses on the wave nature of electrons mathematically.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 6RQ

The electrons move around the nucleus in certain three-dimensional spaces called electron clouds. The probability of an electron being at a certain position can be predicted using the Heisenberg Principle. The electron exhibits translational rotational and vibrational motion which is in accordance to the 3D spacing.

Explanation of Solution

The motion of the electron in three-dimensional space requires a minimum of three quantum numbers to determine the motion of the electron inside the atom. The wave motion of the electron is justified by the 3D model of electron clouds.
