Question #cb6b8
1 Answer
Via Quantum Mechanics with lots and lots of math.
Explanation:
In Quantum Mechanics, there is the Schrodinger Equation . The equation is capable determining many properties of a particle in a system based on time and position of the particle.
In a steady state Schrodinger Equation (we are not interested in the time variable);
The equation is
Lets see the hydrogen atom, the easiest one.
What we want to do is to solve the Schrodinger equation to find
Solving the equation is very tedious and requires arbitrary constants
Solving this implies that
!!
In other words, if
The electron will cease to exist.
Therefore, if
Sorry if I can't express this any simpler. The history of the atomic model from Neils Bohr onwards is very theoretical.
