What Makes Nanoscience so Different? © McREL Quantum Chemistry Electrons Classical Physics Satellites Electrons do not “orbit” the nucleus. We use quantum chemistry to describe probability regions for finding an electron in an atom because it is not possible to simultaneously calculate both the position of the electron and its velocity. Electrons have “dual personalities,” they have both matter and wave characteristics. Electrons are in constant motion and in specific (quantum) energy states. They remain there unless affected by an external energy source. Satellites move in orbits around the Earth. We can determine precisely the orbit of a satellite and the velocity of that satellite. Satellites are matter. The motion of satellites follows the laws of classical physics. A satellite requires a force to put it in orbit and will fall back to Earth unless there is a periodic boost to counteract the Earth’s gravity. Nanoscience
