Schrodinger's Equation

[Sam McNeill 1E]

How would we use Schrodingers Equation? Im confused about what there is to know about that equation in general and what would be plugged in to it.

[Shivam Rana 1D]

I think you only need to know the purpose of Schrodinger's Eq., there is no further use of it than that in our class. Know that the square of the wave function represents probablilty density and that the solutions to a wave equation are quantum numbers.

Schrodinger's equation is taught to us to demonstrate how we "define" electrons. Because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, we can never truly know where an electron is, and Schrodinger's equation materializes the properties of electrons as the solutions to the equation.

We just learned about Schrodinger's equation to understand that electron orbitals are math functions based on the probability of where electrons could be, we don't need to use the equation.

Schrodinger's equation allows for us to understand that the wave function of an electron is based on the principle quantum number (which determines energy and shell size), the angular momentum quantum number (which describes the shape), and the magnetic quantum number (which describes orientation).
