How Do You Study The Aufbau Principle Of Electons Filling In Atoms?
• Understand the definition of the Aufbau principle of electrons filling in atoms. It is based on quantum mechanical calculations that were first done on the hydrogen atom. In addition, the discovery of the electron spin and the formulation of the exclusion principle by Pauli all contributed to the understanding of how electrons are arranged in the atomic shells around the nucleus. The first scientific development that contributed to the understanding of electrons organization within the atom was the successful application of the quantum theory to the simplest atom of the periodic table which is the hydrogen atom. • Learn about the application of the nonrelativistic quantum mechanical equation known as the Schroedinger equation to this atom. This gave an accurate and complete picture about the chemical structure of this atom. • One of the results of the solution of the Schroedinger equation the hydrogen atom is the discovery of new quantum numbers that depict the energy levels of elect
