hovedkvantetal
Hovedkvantetal, also known as the principal quantum number, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics and atomic physics. It describes the main energy level or shell in which an electron resides within an atom. The principal quantum number is denoted by the symbol "n" and can take positive integer values: 1, 2, 3, and so forth.
The value of n determines the size and energy of the electron orbital; higher n-values correspond to
Hovedkvantetal is discrete, meaning electrons occupy specific energy levels rather than a continuous range. These energy
In addition to the principal quantum number, electrons are characterized by other quantum numbers, including the
The concept of hovedkvantetal was introduced in the Bohr model of the atom and later refined within
