Symbolic Mathematics and the H Atom

摘要

The template,Symbolic Math Approach To Solve Par-ticle-in-the-Box and H-Atom Problems,by Todd Hamilton,guides junior and senior chemistry students through the symbolic mathematics derivation for the solution to the H-atom Schrodinger equation for the Is orbital.Students' practice with the particle-in-the-box gives them experience with the basic symbolic mathematics steps that they then apply to the H-atom.
