General physics
Valence bond theory
Physics; General physics
In chemistry, valence bond (VB) theory is one of two basic theories, along with molecular orbital (MO) theory, that were developed to use the methods of quantum mechanics to explain chemical bonding.
Thermal de Broglie wavelength
Physics; General physics
The thermal de Broglie wavelength is roughly the average de Broglie wavelength of the gas particles in an ideal gas at the specified temperature.
Identical particles
Physics; General physics
Identical particles, also called indistinguishable or indiscernible particles, are particles that cannot be distinguished from one another, even in principle.
Quantum tunnelling
Physics; General physics
Quantum tunnelling refers to the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle tunnels through a barrier that it classically could not surmount.
Particle in a box
Physics; General physics
In quantum mechanics, the particle in a box model describes a particle free to move in a small space surrounded by impenetrable barriers.
Wave function
Physics; General physics
A wave function is a probability amplitude in quantum mechanics describing the quantum state of a particle and how it behaves.
Hilbert space
Physics; General physics
The mathematical concept of a Hilbert space, named after David Hilbert, generalises the notion of Euclidean space.
