Who Was the First to Use Wave Mechanics to Study Electrons in the Hydrogen Atom?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the first individual to apply wave mechanics to study electrons in the hydrogen atom. It highlights that Schrödinger is renowned for his wave equation, while de Broglie is recognized for his de Broglie wavelength equation. Participants also mention Dirac's contributions related to the Schrödinger equation and Bohr's role in explaining spectroscopic series. The conversation emphasizes the historical significance of these figures in quantum mechanics. Ultimately, the focus remains on the foundational contributions of Schrödinger and de Broglie in the context of wave mechanics and electrons.

Here is an objective question:

The first full presentation of the behavior of electron in hydrogen atom by using wave mechanics is by:
Louis de Broglie or Schrodinger?

As far as I know, Schrodinger is famous for his wave equation. Meanwhile, de Broglie is known for the equation lambda= h/mv.

Dirac?

Wrote the Schrondinger equation w.r.t. the electron, right?
 
Bohr? Explained spectroscopic series.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
