Schrodinger Wave Equation
H-Hamiltonian Operator (Math function) i.e. ex, ln, yx, !, E
H Ψ = EΨ
E-Eigen Value Total energy of the atom Sum of P.E.; attraction of p+, e- and K.E. of moving e-.
Ψ -Psi - wave function: wave properties Ψ2 -probability distribution
Properties of the Schrodinger equation provides information about the electronic arrangement of each atom.
05.2015 4 9.2 Quantum Mechanics and The Schrodinger Equation
Significance of the Schrodinger Equation Properties of the Schrodinger is mathematically sophisticated, but it has four important features that can be appreciated without understanding how to solve the equation.
1. H - Hamiltonian is different for every atom, ion or molecule.
2. Ψ - Wave function has wave properties and has spatial variables: Ψ = ψ(x,y,z)
• Ψ - is the math function that gives information of the electron at any point in space; shell and orbital.
• Ψ2 - is the probability of finding e- at any point in space (Probability distribution).
3. Schrodinger equation has solution only for specific value of Energy. This is the quantum condition.
4. Schrodinger equation has solution for any atom or molecule and has an infinite number of solution. Molecules or atoms have infinite number of discrete energies En and each of these correspond to a different Ψn

Electron Address and Ψ
Ψ - wave function for e - at ground state. Ψ2 - probability of e- distribution about atom E - energy of electron
e e
When e- is promoted to new orbital there is a new: Ψ - wave function for e - at ground state. Ψ2 - probability of e- distribution about atom E - Energy of electron
Many Wavefunction Ψ are acceptable with each Ψ having unique set of quantum numbers.
Quantum number - Address of each electron; yields size, shape, orientation and spin of e-
It is essential to realize that an atomic orbital bears no resemblance whatsoever to an “orbital” in the Bohr model: the orbital is a mathematical function with no independent physical reality.

Summary The electron’s wave function (ϕ, atomic orbital) is a mathematical description of the electron's wavelike motion in an atom. Each wave function is associated with one of the atom’s allowed energy states. The probability of finding the electron at a particular location is represented by ϕ2. An electron density diagram and a radial probability distribution plot show how the electron occupies the space near the nucleus for a particular energy level. Three features of the atomic orbital are described by quantum numbers: size (n), shape (l), and orientation (ml). Orbitals are part of sublevels (defined by n and l), which are part of an energy level (defined by n). A sublevel with l =0 has a spherical (s) orbital (no nodes); one with l =1 has two-lobed (p) orbitals (one node); and one with l =2 has four lobed (d) orbitals (two nodes). For the H atom, the energy levels depend only on the n value.
