Probability, not destiny Electron probability rather than orbit or trajectory.
Electron has wave properties Diffraction and interference. Wavelength =h/mv Atomic structure is just wave solutions in a potential well. Uncertainty principle

Back to atoms Each electron orbital has different energy. Energy can only change to fit spacing.
Back to atoms Each electron orbital has different energy. Energy can only change to fit spacing. Photon energies must match spacing.
