How an Electron Moves Around an Atom
Here, we modelled an electron in a Hydrogen atom using the Schrödinger equation, combining several quantum states to show how its probability cloud changes, spreads, and reforms over time.
The glowing cloud shows where the electron is most likely to be found, its colours represent the quantum phase, the faint ring marks the classical orbital scale, and the tiny dot at the centre represents the atom’s nucleus.
