I don't understand why cadium or other elements have different zeeman effect because of their electron configiration
thanks

I think because their wave function would be different in the presence of more electrons.
And you could think of it as the electrons pushing on each other and they have so much wiggle room.

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!
