Quantum Physics. Quantum Mechanics and atomic structure. Electron probability rather than orbit or trajectory. Probability, not destiny. Diffraction and interference. Wavelength =h/mv Atomic structure is just wave solutions in a potential well. Electron has wave properties.

Diffraction and interference. Wavelength =h/mv Atomic structure is just wave solutions in a potential well. Electron has wave properties Modern Atomic Theory: http://www.iun.edu/~cpanhd/C101webnotes/modern-atomic-theory/modern-atomic-theory.html
Electron has wave properties • Diffraction and interference. • Wavelength =h/mv • Atomic structure is just wave solutions in a potential well. • Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Each electron orbital has different energy. Energy can only change to fit spacing. Back to atoms
Each electron orbital has different energy. Energy can only change to fit spacing. Photon energies must match spacing. Back to atoms
