A wave function can be described with four variables, called quantum numbers, denoted n, l, ml and ms. Together, they describe the energy level and the three-dimensional shape of the area the electron occupies. You will learn about these quantum numbers on our website.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS
Werner Karl Heisenberg
One of the founding fathers of Quantum Mechanics. He formulated the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, essentially describing the movement of electrons in the atom.
Erwin Schrodinger
Another of the founding fathers of Quantum Mechanics. He was instrumental in the creation of the Quantum model.
