electron spin..........

this doubt may be simple for many ppl here.............so can u pl help me out..........

does the electron literally rotate in the energy shells..........around the nucleus ?????..........wat happened of the Maxwells laws if it does rotate.........????

energy states r fixed

it does rotate but we can't specify where ...so we cant say abt enegy
1 atom may b losing energy while the other gaining it so net is conserved
:maybe:

if we consider only 1 atom.........the energy it will loose (will b probably taken by another atom........)but due to the energy loss wont electron collapse in the nucleus...........

i think in this case we consider stationary energy states...........
where the electron wont lose or gain energy if it is orbiting in a shell

i maybe wrong............

well i think it was where a good theory collapsed(i don't remember the name)

then there was some hypothesis and thats all

i'll try to search it

so wat abt maxwells laws???????????

not spot on!!!

i think maxwell laws produce the theory of stationary energy states
but again it is just a hypothesis

wat do u mean by..........."not spot on"..........????

check out my first post again...
its just a hypothesis...
i m talking of a single atom-1 elec loses energy to move towards nucleus while other gains it..elec conf r just probability func based on inf uncertainty...

sorry..here's the rite explanation..

in bohr's stationary states,speed of electron is fixed,so constant acceleration and no radiations

constant acc???????

how can it be????????

if acc were to b constt wouldnt it go out of reach of atom/nucleus..........????????????

Maxwell's equations have no relation to the movement of the electron. They describe the distribution of electromagnetic waves but not the movement of a particle such as an electron. In Maxwell's theory, the charge - electron is considered local, as though the particle is at rest. This means that if te particle does not move rectilinearly, but rotates around the diameter (has the form of a sphere).

ah well NCERT states the elec are in stationary wave form and so no transfer of energy...
