Different Wave Functions?

Postby 306001327 » Sun Dec 03, 2023 9:54 pm

What are the constraints of the Schrodinger equation and why does it fail outside of its limitations?

Hi! The Schrodinger equation can only be solved for atoms with more than one electron because the problems are complicated when there are a number of particles and many forces involved.

The Schrodinger equation is used to find the allowed energy levels of atoms and can only be solved for the simplest of systems such as hydrogen atoms.
