Hello,
I had read about the dual nature of electrons and the quantum numbers for some time ago and was always confused.
1-What does dual nature of electron mean? Does it mean that the electron moves in a sort of wave like motion around the nucleus? Where do the sub-shells and orbitals fit in?
2-Is there any diagram or simple explanation that shows where in the shells the sub-shells (s,p,d,f) exist and then the orbitals?
Thanks in advance.
