  2. Electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_measurements

    High-precision laboratory measurements of electrical quantities are used in experiments to determine fundamental physical properties such as the charge of the electron or the speed of light, and in the definition of the units for electrical measurements, with precision in some cases on the order of a few parts per million. Less precise ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_units

    They noted that the unit of length in this system is the radius of the first Bohr orbit and their velocity is the electron velocity in Bohr's model of the first orbit. In 1959, Shull and Hall [ 4 ] advocated atomic units based on Hartree's model but again chose to use ⁠ ℏ {\displaystyle \hbar } ⁠ as the defining unit.

  4. Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    As described above, entanglement is a key feature of models of measurement processes in which an apparatus becomes entangled with the system being measured. Systems interacting with the environment in which they reside generally become entangled with that environment, a phenomenon known as quantum decoherence. This can explain why, in practice ...

  5. Electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    A system of one or more electrons bound to a nucleus is called an atom. If the number of electrons is different from the nucleus's electrical charge, such an atom is called an ion. The wave-like behavior of a bound electron is described by a function called an atomic orbital. Each orbital has its own set of quantum numbers such as energy ...

  6. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    The amount of substance, symbol n, of a system is a measure of the number of specified elementary entities. An elementary entity may be an atom, a molecule, an ion, an electron, any other particle or specified group of particles." [1] Atomic weight or molecular weight divided by the molar mass constant, 1 g/mol. N candela: cd luminous intensity

  7. Franck–Hertz experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck–Hertz_experiment

    The Bohr model was a precursor of quantum mechanics and of the electron shell model of atoms. Its key feature was that an electron inside an atom occupies one of the atom's "quantum energy levels". Before the collision, an electron inside the mercury atom occupies its lowest available energy level.

  8. Atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom

    The Bohr model of the atom, with an electron making instantaneous "quantum leaps" from one orbit to another with gain or loss of energy. This model of electrons in orbits is obsolete. A problem in classical mechanics is that an accelerating charged particle radiates electromagnetic radiation, causing the particle to lose kinetic energy.

    Bohr Model of the Atom. The Bohr model, proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913, is a revolutionary theory describing the structure of the hydrogen atom. It introduced the idea of quantized orbits for electrons, combining classical and quantum physics. Key Postulates of the Bohr Model. 1.Electrons Move in Circular Orbits:
