Ciro Santilli 34 Updated 2024-12-15 +Created 1970-01-01Is the only atom that has a closed form solution, which allows for very good predictions, and gives awesome intuition about the orbitals in general.
It is arguably the most important solution of the Schrodinger equation.
In particular, it predicts:
- the major spectral line of the hydrogen atom by taking the difference between energy levels
The explicit solution can be written in terms of spherical harmonics.
