Atomic orbital
Atomic orbitals are the quantum states of the individual electrons in the electron cloud around a single atom. Specifically, atomic orbitals are the quantum states of the individual electrons in the ... > more -
Black body
In physics, a black body is an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls onto it. No radiation passes through it and none is reflected, yet in classical physics, it can ... > more -
Electron configuration
In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary ... > more -
Absolute zero
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance. Absolute zero is the point at which the fundamental particles of nature have ... > more -
Radioactive decay
Radioactive decay is the set of various processes by which unstable atomic nuclei (nuclides) emit subatomic particles (radiation). Decay is said to occur in the parent nucleus and produces a daughter ... > more -
Hydrogen-like atom
Hydrogen-like atoms (or hydrogenic atoms) are atoms with one single electron. Like the hydrogen atom, hydrogen-like atoms are one of the few quantum mechanical problems which can be exactly ... > more -
Lewis structure
Lewis structures, also called electron-dot structures or electron-dot diagrams, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the ... > more -
Quantum number
A quantum number describes the energies of electrons in atoms. Each quantum number specifies the value of a conserved quantity in the dynamics of the quantum system. Since any quantum system can have ... > more -
Subatomic particle
A subatomic particle is a particle smaller than an atom: it may be elementary or composite. Particle physics and nuclear physics concern themselves with the study of these particles, their ... > more
