Schrodinger's Theory
To begin with, quantum mechanics is basically the branch ofquantum physics that accounts for matter at the atomic level; an extension of statistical mechanics based on quantum theory which refers to the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains thenature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level.
In 1926 Schrödinger published articles that stated the foundations of modern quantum mechanical waves, in which he discoveredhis famous equation, which relates the energy associated with a microscopic particle with the wave function described by the particle. He deduced this result after adopting the De Broglie hypothesis,according to which matter and microscopic particles are of dual nature and behave both as a wave and body. In the case of his atomic model, he suggested that electrons around the nucleus of an atombehave in a wave-like manner rather than just particles, and their exact location within an orbit could not be precisely calculated. This uncertainty principle established by Heisenberg is complex.Schrödinger always associated this term with the provision of a causal space-time picture of the phenomena.
For example, if we perform an experiment to see where a particle is, then we will findsomething particle-like. But otherwise it's a wave that carries information about where the electron probably is. Another way of looking at the dual wave/particle nature of electrons is by doing the “DoubleSlit Experiment”. Schrödinger showed that these electrons don't even move. The waves are stationary. An electron isn't in any particular place when you aren't looking. The orbits mislead were the...
