Introduction
The quantized electron orbits and energy states are due to the wave nature of the electron and only resonant standing waves can persist.

| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Quantization | Quantization is the process of transition from a classical understanding of physical phenomena to a newer understanding known as "quantum mechanics". It is a procedure for constructing a quantum field theory starting from a classical field theory. |

Practical examples around us

|---|---|
| Hydrogen atom | The Bohr model is a relatively primitive model of the hydrogen atom, compared to the valence shell atom. It can be derived as a first-order approximation of the hydrogen atom using the broader and much more accurate quantum mechanics, and thus may be considered to be an obsolete scientific theory. |
What you learn in Theory:
Bohr's second postulate says that it is only possible for an electron to move in an orbit for which its orbital angular momentum L is an integral multiple of ?.
What you learn in Practice:
The quantized electron orbits and energy states are due to the wave nature of the electron and only resonant standing waves can persist.
