6. HEISENBERG’S
UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE
in the microscopic world you cannot determine the
momentum (velocity) and location of a particle
simultaneously
x is the uncertainty in the particle’s position
p is the uncertainty in the particle’s momentum
h
xp 
4
p  mv

if particle is big then
uncertainty small
This means we have no idea of the
velocity of an electron if we try to tie
it down!
Alternatively if we pin down
velocity we have no idea where
the electron is!
So for electrons we cannot know precisely
where they are!
we cannot know precisely where electrons are!
we cannot describe the electron as following a
known path such as a circular orbit
Bohr’s model is therefore fundamentally incorrect
in its description of how the electron behaves.
Schroedinger
Born
(1926)
(1927)
electron has wave properties



The probability of finding an
electron at a given location
is proportional to the square
of 
2 – The Bus - Probabilities
orbit of an electron at radius r
(Bohr)

probability of finding an electron at
a radius r
(Schroedinger, Born)
1. Schroedinger defines energy states an electron can occupy

2. square of wave function defines distribution of electrons around the nucleus
high electron density - high probability of finding an electron at this location
low electron density - low probability of finding an electron at this location
atomic orbital
wave function of an electron in an atom
each wave function corresponds to defined energy of electron
an orbital can be filled up with two electrons (box) EXPVIII
most atoms have more than two electrons
each electron in an atom is different
electrons have different ‘labels’
called quantum numbers

n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…
