What is the electron configuration for TI?

Can you be at two places at once explain mathematically?

About 80 years ago, scientists discovered that it is possible to be in two locations at the same time — at least for an atom or a subatomic particle, such as an electron. For such tiny objects, the world is governed by a madhouse set of physical laws known as quantum mechanics.

Can two photons occupy the same space?

Photons don’t do that. They’re bosons, and as a consequence of that they are not subject to the Pauli exclusion principle, so if you have a photon occupying some space (whatever that may mean), you can in theory pack an unlimited number of additional photons into the same space. The answer is mostly a yes.

Do photons take up space?

Short answer: Photons do not take up space. This means that for the space in between atoms (or in interstellar space), even if there are photons, they do not take up space. One can treat them as excitations of the electromagnetic field which permeate the universe, which take up no space at all (in the classical sense).

What’s the difference between a photon and an electron?

Electrons have a negative charge, which means only that they move away from other negatively charged matter (other electrons) and are drawn to positively charged matter (protons, often ones in the nuclei of atoms). Photons have neither negative nor positive charge. They are not matter and have no mass.

Is an electron bigger than a photon?

Although photons are often referred to as particles, they aren’t particles in the traditional sense. They have both wave and particle properties. the size of photons and electrons are same as mass,but electron is negatively charged particle and photon is the energy (quanta).

What’s inside a photon?

A photon is massless, has no electric charge, and is a stable particle. In a vacuum, a photon has two possible polarization states. The photon is the gauge boson for electromagnetism, and therefore all other quantum numbers of the photon (such as lepton number, baryon number, and flavour quantum numbers) are zero.

Are Quanta and Photon the same thing?

In summary, a photon is the tiniest possible particle of light, a quantum of light. A quantum, on the other hand, is the tiniest possible particle of any substance at the subatomic level and includes, for example, electrons and neutrinos. If this answers your question, no need to read any further.
