Jolpic Science! Atomic Theory for Kids Part Three: Wave-Particle Duality, Uncertainty Principle, Orbital Shapes and Chemical Bonding

Jolpic Science! Atomic Theory for Kids Part ThreeThis is the third book of the 'Atomic Theory for Kids' book series, and this book makes the series complete. In the previous two books, we discussed the science of the atoms and other subatomic particles.After the discovery of the atom, several scientific experiments were performed, and scientists came to know that an atom consists of three kinds of particles, electrons, protons, and neutrons. The protons and the neutrons make the nucleus of the atom, and the electrons revolve around it.The behavior of electrons was found mysterious. In the beginning, scientists considered electrons as particles, and all the previous atomic models were based on the particle nature of electrons. But in several experiments, it was found later that electrons also behave like waves. Therefore, the atomic model needed modification considering the wave property of electrons.In this book, we are going to discuss the wave nature of electrons. It will reveal how atomic orbitals get their shapes, and how overlapping of atomic orbitals forms covalent bonds in molecules.Contents:Particle & WaveElectromagnetic WaveWave-Particle DualityParticle Nature of Light, Photoelectric Effect, and The Energy of a Wave According to Classical and Quantum theoryUncertainty PrincipleWave MechanicsSchrödinger Equation and Hydrogen AtomThe Periodic Table RevisitedNoble Gas Electronic ConfigurationIons & Ionic BondingSharing of Electrons and Covalent BondingSigma (σ) bond and pi (π) bondHybridizationCovalent Bonding in Some CompoundsKey features of the book:Premium cover design.Attractive color (premium quality) interior.8.5 inches by 8.5 inches size.Ideal for kids ages 5 - 14.About Jolpic Kidz:Jolpic Kidz is a publishing company specialized in educational books for kids.
