PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY BRAINSTOMING QUESTIONS
TOPIC: SCHRODINGER EQUATION

Question. WHAT IS SCHRODINGER WAVE EQUATION?

Schrodinger wave equation describes the behavior of matter waves. It

gives a satisfactory description of an atom. It provides a way to calculate
the wave function of a system and how it changes dramatically with time
but does not say directly what the wave function is.

Question. APPLICATIONS OF SCHRODINGER WAVE EQUATION

=> It's the foundation of wave mechanics

=> It aids in the study of atomic structure
=> It reflects all the wave like nature of matter

QUESTION. CHARACTERISTICS OF A WELL BEHAVED FUNCTION

=> The wave function must be continuous

=> The wave function must be finite
=> The wave function must be single valued
=> The probability of finding the election over all space from + infinity to -
infinity must be equal to 1

QUESTION. THE GENERAL FORM OF SCHRODINGER EQUATION

CAN BE WRITTEN AS;
H¥ = E¥ explain the term H, E, and ¥ (PQ 2002/2003)

=> ¥ is the wave function of the system. It is the solution of the wave
equation, and a variable quantity that mathematically describes the wave
characteristics of a particle

=> H represent Hamiltonin operator. It is an operator corresponding to the

total energy of that system
It's the energy operator for wave function (¥) in time independent
schrodinger wave theory equation

=> E stands for energy or energy eigen value. It represents the total energy
of system that is the sum of the Potential Energy (PE) and Kinetic Energy
(KE) of all the particles associated with the system
It's also the energy eigen value. It stands as the constant to be multiplied
by the wave function(¥) to make the wave function(¥) an eigen function of
Hamiltonin operator

QUESTION. WHAT IS PROBABILITY DENSITY

It is the square of the magnitude of the wave function

QUESTION. WHEN IS A WAVE FUNCTION CALLED AN EIGEN

FUNCTION

A wave function is called an eigen function when it is well behaved. That

is, when the wave function satisfies all the conditions for a physically
possible solution.
