51Cubic harmonic — Cubic harmonics In fields like computational chemistry and solid state and condensed matter physics the so called atomic orbitals, or spin orbitals, as they appear in textbooks[1] …
52Bohr model — In atomic physics, the Bohr model created by Niels Bohr depicts the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus mdash;similar in structure to the solar system, but with… …
53Atomic orbital model — The Atomic Orbital Model is the currently accepted model of the electrons in an atom. It is sometimes called the Wave Mechanics Model. In the atomic orbital model, the atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. These electrons… …
54Fine structure — Interference fringes, showing fine structure (splitting) of a cooled deuterium source, viewed through a Fabry Pérot étalon. In atomic physics, the fine structure describes the splitting of the spectral lines of atoms due to first order… …
55Stark effect — The Stark effect is the shifting and splitting of spectral lines of atoms and molecules due to the presence of an external static electric field. The amount of splitting and or shifting is called the Stark splitting or Stark shift. In general one …
56Rydberg molecule — Rydberg molecules are electronically excited species. Electronically excited molecular states are generally quite different in character from electronically excited atomic states. However, particularly for highly electronically excited molecular… …
57Pauli exclusion principle — The Pauli exclusion principle is a quantum mechanical principle formulated by Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. It states that no two identical fermions may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously . A more rigorous statement of this principle is that …

59Theoretical and experimental justification for the Schrödinger equation — The theoretical and experimental justification for the Schrödinger equation motivates the discovery of the Schrödinger equation, the equation that describes the dynamics of nonrelativistic particles. The motivation uses photons, which are… …
60Balmer series — The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six different named series describing the spectral line emissions of the hydrogen atom.The Balmer series is calculated using the Balmer formula, an… …
