How did Schrodinger derive the wave equation? Does it have a physical interpretation? And, what are its scope of applicability and limitations?

For a question of this generality and scope, you want a web-page like this:

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!
