That's where we're heading.
-
But first we have to understand what quantum mechanics is.
-
So here's the SchroDinger equation, ΗΨ=EΨ,
-
and we're talking about the time-independent
-
SchroDinger equation,so time is not a variables,
-
and that means what we're talking about is stationary states.
-
We don't mean that the atoms aren't moving,
-
but just that they're in a cloud and we're going to find
-
how is the cloud distributed.
-
If a molecule reacts, the electrons shift their clouds and so on;
-
it changes. We're not interested in reaction now,
-
we're just interested in understanding
