Question on electron orbitals and wavelengths??
Hi I have a couple of dumb laymans questions:
(1) I have seen various diagrams of electron shells where some of them appear as ,roughly , rotating figure eights. Is there any physical conceptual interpretation of this?
It would appear to mean that the electrons in those shells would interpenetrate inner shells and approach closely to the nucleus ,,but this doesn't seem likely.
(2) Is there any consistant relationship in wavelength between electrons in the same shell??
Is there any correspondence between electron wavelength and the distance from the nucleus, of the shell they occupy?
Thanks Cheers
