Hello all
I have an exam coming up this week but there's something that I don't understand:
Let's take methane, for example.
If I understand it correctly, the bonding orbitals of carbon are all hybridized to sp³ orbitals and overlap with the 1s orbital of four H atoms.
Does the orbital of...
Do I get this correctly: if a wave/particle is not measured, it is in the wave state, and if it is measured, it becomes a particle, fixated on an eigenstate of the probability distribution of the wave function.
So the universe - matter, light, each natural phenomenon - if unmeasured, is in a...
I'm trying to understand the concepts of physics, but there's one thing I don't fully get...
If there is some matter with a spatial and temporal coordinate, let's say coordinate X, is the matter "in" that time and place, or "is" the matter that time and place?
In other words, does space-time...
