How did quantum mechanics change our understanding of atoms?

Answer 1

It has altered the way we perceive atoms.

The idea that the universe is random, rather than clockwork, at its most basic level is the big understanding shift brought about by quantum physics. If we look at the shell model, we get a very 2D view. However, quantum mechanics also makes us realize that there is much more to realizing the location of an electron.

Quantum mechanics revolutionized atomic theory by introducing probabilistic behavior, wave-particle duality, and quantized energy levels, challenging classical models and providing a more accurate description of atomic structure and behavior.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
