Do the electrons spin around the nuclues?
If so, do we know the value?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If you use quantum mechanics, then there is no trajectory, but only the probability of find the electron at a given point (in other word it can jump randomly from a measurement to the other)...
 
"Spin" is not a fortunate term.They mode chaotically and the best we can do about their movement is statistics...

Ahh, here we go again. Good question though...Since this forum is very well prepared, i suggest you read the 'five "socalled"easy pieces post' at the end of this link:https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=43685&page=4

Thread 'Quantum Entanglement is a Kinematic Fact, not a Dynamical Effect'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
