the energy of an electron in a 1D box

 

So after putting this off for quite some bit, I decided why just not come and finish write this blog.  And what better time is there to write this than after the an exciting chemistry exam; especially since this more than exciting topic didn't come...... oh well (with a sarcastic look of disappointment on my face).  Somehow I am strongly doubting that there will be a next time. 

 

But there is of course a lesson to be learnt from an electron trapped in box. We should look at it metaphorically....... we are trapped in a world where chemistry surrounds us and there is no escaping it (just like the infinitely tall walls of the box), so maybe the electron trapped in the box isn't such a bad thing
