what is quauntum theory?

Answer 1

just the modern scientist's best guess for what an atom really looks like. it explains the location of the electrons in the orbitals surrounding the nucleus using the elevel number (1-8) the orbital letter (s,p,d,f) and the number of electrons in that particular orbital. helps illustrate how atoms will bond and react.

Answer 2

When Newton's Laws were applied to atomic-sized particles, the experiments did not match the predictions.

When Maxwell formulated the laws of classical electro-magnetic theory, they failed to answer some questions. "If light is an electro-magnetic wave, why do fires always start as a red color?"

A new theory was needed.

Answer 3

According to quantum theory the measurable quantities of a system are not absolute until they are actually measured.
Before a measurement there is a probability of finding the system in any number of values, we say that the system is made up of a superposition, or combination, of states but we can not be absolutely sure in which state the system is, until we actually make the measurements. After we make the one measurement the system will "collapse" into one state regarding the quantity we just measured (for example position in space), but it will still be in a number of states in some of the other quantities (for example momentum).

Answer 4

Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level.

Answer 5

Quantum means small packets
Quantisation of something means making it to the lowest or minimal substance. The total thing(whatever light or charge etc)
an integral multiple of that gives the total.
A substance can't exist lower than it's quantised value

For charge charge of electron is said be quantised value
but now quarks are said to have lower value than that
for light it is Photons.

Answer 6

it is a theory proposed by scientists which states that matter is made up of tiny lumps. it is really vast and deep. it even has a new contradicting theory- string theory!

Answer 7

"Quantum" means "small packets"

So quantum theory means that energy has a finite limit to it's minimal amount.

Einstein discovered this with the "Photo-electric effect". He got the nobel prize for it.

Answer 8

Accoroding to qantam mecanics in sub atomic world are carris on their work by so many probeble result .

Answer 9

As Niel Bohr one the the pioneers of quantum mechanics said" if you claim to Understand it and can explain it ,you have not understood it!"
I take the same position.
