Quantum Theory<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The quantum theory of the atom was developed to explain a phenomenon in the natural world, where sub-atomic particles called electrons normally remain in a wave–particle-wave function orbital path around\/through the nucleus of an atom. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This phenomenon could not be explained by classical mechanics laws, such as Newton’s laws of motion and some of Maxwell’s laws of classical electromagnetism.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An electron orbiting an atom’s nucleus has quantized values of energy and angular momentum. An unbound<\/span> electron does not show quantized energy levels, but is associated with a Compton wavelength<\/span><\/a>, as are all particles. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This wave-function is a complex mathematical function of time and space (vector space<\/span><\/a>) that can provide information about the position and momentum of a particle in an actual experiment, but only as a probability within the rules of the uncertainty principle<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
