| - | - Maple is used to compute the full solution quantum mechanical solution to the hydrogen atom | + | - This computer visualization activity is designed to help upper division undergraduate students compute and visualize the full quantum mechanical solution to the Hydrogen atom. |
| - | - Students can visualize the probability density of the electron | + | - Students use a Maple Worksheet or a Mathematica Notebook to visualize the probability density of the electron in the Hydrogen atom as well as generate animations of the hydrogen orbitals they've seen in chemistry. |
| - | - Students can connect various represent to the hydrogen orbitals they've seen in chemistry | + | - The whole class wrap-up discussion summarizes the solution of the Hydrogen atom with computer simulations, connecting the newly learned physics with the familiar models from introductory chemistry. |
