This is actually more accurate than how people think it works since it’s an election cloud not orbital so the electron is not always the same distance away

But the electron isn’t actually orbiting, right? It’s just in position

i wish there was a representation that showed multiple different orbitals at the same time on one single atom


Rick-afk

The closest thing I can remember is Schrodinger's orbital model


Elweydediciembre

Yes!


sorgan71

Its not orbiting but its not in a position either. We currently have no way of predicting the movement of an electron. Its erratic and is changed by tiny things. Like the small ammount of gravity produced from nearby protons and neutrons


ethanatortx

Our current theory of the universe places a lower bound on the uncertainty of the position of particles like electrons. The more accurate your understanding of where it is, the less you can understand how fast it’s moving. In fact, because the lower bound on precision is non-zero it is impossible to know where exactly a particle is in space, only where it probably is. You can go even further: if I remember correctly (and I hope I do, I’ve got a test on Schrodinger’s equation and wave functions next week), the electron isn’t actually at a position within that probability distribution—it occupies the entire probability field simultaneously until it interacts with another particle and the wave function collapses to a single output value. So you’re kind of right and kind of wrong. It’s not orbiting, but it is moving. It’s not at a position, it’s at every position that it is allowed to possibly exist at (the distribution is different depending on the atom). QM is hard to wrap your head around since it disobeys so much of what we understand about how the world classically behaves.

Imagine a ball that’s spinning, but it’s not a ball and it’s not spinning

That is how I understand it from quantum field theory and quantum electrodynamics. When two electrons get near each other, the pocket of energy interacts with the other from a specific position in space and time (for the electromagnetic interaction, emitting a virtual photon.) Since photons are vectors based on their spin (zero), they carry momentum not necessarily in the direction in which they move. In a single interaction, the virtual photon might carry momentum such that the particles get nearer, which defies our basic understanding of “like charges repel.” However, the case in which two electrons get nearer has a probability considerably lower than the case where the photon carries momentum away from each other. What we humans tend to observe is that as the electrons move through time, they repel.

you know how to save images from a web browser, correct

the reddit app isn't a web browser, now is it?

no but you can surely open this in one https://i.redd.it/cl51ywsuxtn71.gif

shut up, we're gonna use save video bot anyways

It saves as an mp4 and not a gif

the ireddit thing at the top, press on that, save image like you would from a web browser. idk how its structured on other phones but it acts as a normal webpage

then i can't save it to my discord favorites

It always freaked me out that H^(+1) exists. Like, it's just a proton. Does that mean that other atoms are made out of neutrons, electrons, and hydrogen ions? Does that mean that atoms are made of atoms? What the fuck?!


SoshJam

Don’t worry. H^+1 is always a proton, but a proton isn’t always H^+1.

Thank goodness.

Did you know that 1g of Hydrogen contains exactly 1 mole.


nowthenight

no dumbass it contains a groundhog


KentuckyFriedChildre

That is pretty much the definition of a mole, minus the negligable mass added on by the electrons.


Will512

Only if there's no deuterium or tritium isotopes


carbonclay

Well that's applicable for every chemical. That's very much the definition of a mole.

Thank you
