kvantetalene
The kvantetalene are a set of discrete quantum numbers that label the quantum states of particles in quantum systems, most notably electrons in atoms. They arise from solving the quantum mechanical equations and reflect conserved quantities such as energy, angular momentum, and spin.
Common quantum numbers in atomic physics: principal n (positive integer), orbital angular momentum l (0 to n-1),
The mathematical basis: In a central Coulomb potential, separation of variables yields radial part R_{n,l}(r) and
Usage and implications: Determine electron configurations, spectral lines, and chemical properties. In spectroscopy, transitions involve changes
Etymology/Notes: The term comes from quantum theory; "kvantetalene" in Norwegian or equivalent translation.
