Answer Me Precisely: Electronic Density Probability

  • Thread starter Karrar
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses questions about electronic density probability, specifically regarding the practicality and evidence of the distribution of orbitals in certain atoms. It is suggested to use a scanning tunnel microscope to obtain the necessary information, and it is mentioned that the main evidence for the distribution of orbitals comes from chemistry. It is also noted that an article in Nature from 2004 provides an answer to one of the questions.

I have some question about electronic density propbablity
1- Is there really picture shown in Lab (( practically)). for probablity density of certain atoms
2- what is the evidence that shown distrubution of orbitals is true

For question 1 you may get the information you need by googling "scanning tunnel microscope".Like Nabeshin I think that the main evidence for question 2.comes from chemistry

In any case, if I understand your imprecise question correctly then the answer was given in an article in Nature in 2004: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature03183

You may need to expand your reason a little bit with explanation.

FAQ: Answer Me Precisely: Electronic Density Probability

What is electronic density probability?

Electronic density probability refers to the likelihood of finding an electron within a specific region of space around an atom. It is a measure of the electron's probability distribution and is influenced by factors such as atomic number, atomic orbitals, and electron configuration.

How is electronic density probability measured?

The electronic density probability is typically measured using quantum mechanics calculations and techniques such as X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy. These methods allow scientists to visualize and map the distribution of electrons around atoms.

What factors affect electronic density probability?

Several factors can influence electronic density probability, including the number of protons in the nucleus, the number of electrons in the atom's outermost energy level, and the shape and arrangement of the atom's orbitals. Additionally, external factors such as temperature and pressure can also impact electronic density probability.

Why is electronic density probability important?

Electronic density probability is crucial in understanding the chemical and physical properties of atoms and molecules. It helps scientists predict how atoms will bond and interact with each other, as well as how they will behave in different environments. This information is essential in fields such as materials science, chemistry, and nanotechnology.

How can electronic density probability be used in practical applications?

Electronic density probability has practical applications in various fields, including drug design, materials engineering, and environmental science. By studying the electronic density probability of molecules, scientists can design more effective drugs, develop new materials with desired properties, and understand the behavior of pollutants in the environment.
