Based on the information in “Atom: Clash of the Titans”, please answer the following questions:
16. Why did Heisenberg want to destroy Schrödinger’s wave equation?What happened when he tried to call out Schrödinger in public?
17. Almost the entire scientific community had turned on Bohr and Heisenberg, saying that their “matrix mechanics” model of the atom was wrong. Why did they refuse to give up their ideas and admit they were wrong?
please use correct sentences
Solution
16. Heisenberg stated that the position and the velocity of particle / wave cannot be found at some point
in space simultaneously. On the contrary Schrödinger wave equation gives the position of an atom and
with defined quantum aspects of a system. However in the end these 2 theories went hand in hand.
17. Using this matrix mechanics which has superseded the Bohr\'s model, Heisenberg predicted that the
electrons might not be revolving in orbits. The mathematics used to describe the model were unknown
and uncertain to the scientific community. They refused to agree with the discrete energy states concept
Nevertheless this was also complementing the Schrödinger’s wave equation which was widely accepted
during that period of time.
