Why the homophobia?

If you think these images are indicative of atoms you should kill yourself.

Define space

Got a better image?

"Empty" space doesn't exist

What's these maps supposed to display? [math]\left|\psi\right|^2[/math] for each electron in a quantum state [math]\left(n,\, p,\, \ell\right)[/math]?

[math]\psi[/math] for each electron in ([math]n,l,m[/math])

why do these wave functions look so similar to antenna wave functions?

Because they're just spherical harmonics with a polynomial radial component.

What are they indicative of then

it says probability density plots, which would be psi squared

But it is just empty space though... That's just a probability distribution right? Or is it a field of sorts?

Poor modeling based on faulty physics understanding.

Not understanding quantum uncertainties is a sin.

You can localize an electron to arbitrary precision by performing a measurement on its location, after which indeed you are left with mostly empty space. But an atom at rest has its electron density spread out.

The volume of the atom is literally the volume occupied by (most of) the electron density. There is no sensible way to the volume of the electron relative to the volume of the atom and end up with "it's mostly empty".

Sometimes it feels like the peak of human engineering had occurred when Jurassic Park was made and everything since has just been getting worse and worse barring moores law.

>le electron is particle

you can always leave if you like

Atoms aren't empty space but there is a lot of space between atoms

If you write an "if-statement" without a following "then-statement",
then you're a brainless faggot and you should kill yourself.

>tfw my uni taught us that the Hydrogen wavefunctions involve the spherical harmonic functions but didn't mention the role the functions play for general functions on a sphere

Can someone explain what the problem is? Are the images in the OP probability densities for the electron of a hydrogen atom or not?

You're the immigrant though, /pol/. I've been here since this board's inception. Please relocate.

You clearly don't know what those mean. Those are probabilities, not locations of stuff. If I have a 50% probability of being on the west coast and a 50% probability of being on the east coast, that doesn't mean both of the coasts have me in them. Only one of them does.

>an electron
the electron*
There is only one electron.

>brainless
where do you think you are
it's typed BRAINLET

Why for the the (2,0,0) the center has the brightest hue? Is that the nucleus?

There is the nucleus. But it's the probability density of the electron. There is just a high probability of the electron being there.

If you spread your time out evenly on both coasts, and the minimum viewing time was a year, then it would appear that you are indeed occupying both coasts.

>le electron isn't an electron

In the nucleus? That seems odd.

If you walk into Veeky Forums without reading the rules you should save Islam the stairclimb and throw yourself off a building. This is not another version of plebbit, and here, that word does not mean what you think it does. Ask for Agent Arminass.

>calling people names is exclusive to /pol/

This fucking faggot at it again

I've always thought it was interesting how the hydrogen wavefunctions look identical to higher order laser modes.

the connection between the quantum walk and the hydrogen atom remains a mystery

imagine being this new

Because they both answer the question: how do standing waves look like in spherical symmetry?

Shake your glass of water and you will see the same pattern.

Neato!

What is this field called? Orbitals and shit?
