Sentences with phrase «certain electron orbit»

Not exact matches

The history of science provides many examples of this combination of analogy and innovation in the creation of models which were useful in generating theories.4 The «Bohr model» of the atom, in which «planetary» electrons revolve in orbits around a central nucleus, resembles the solar system in certain of its dynamical properties; but the key assumption of quantum jumps between orbits had no classical parallel at all.

Atoms can be thought of as miniature solar systems, with a nucleus at the centre and electrons orbiting at certain specific distances from it.

A single electron orbiting a proton can occupy only certain, discrete energy levels, which are described by the laws of quantum mechanics.

We are no electrons orbiting around a nucleus, why do we need to resonate to a higher frequency orbit for certain «chemical reactions» to happen?
