    Probability of finding a particle and complex wave functions

    1-Why is the probability of finding a particle at specific position at a certain time proportional to |Ψ|2? 2- Waves are represented by sinusoidal or complex functions. Why did we choose a complex function to represent matter waves instead of sinusoidal?

    Why be and Mg not chemically inactive

    Be has 4 electrons, thus the electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 Mg has 12 electrons, thus the electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 Both Be and Mg have closed subshells. Why are they not chemically inactive (inert)?
