Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main idea behind the concept of quantization in atomic physics? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Step 2: Realize that electrons can only exist in specific energy levels around the nucleus of an atom.
  • Step 3: Know that these energy levels are not continuous; instead, they are like steps on a ladder.
  • Step 4: Recognize that an electron can jump from one energy level to another, but it cannot exist between these levels.
  • Step 5: Conclude that this idea of having specific, separate energy levels is what we call quantization.
