Yeah i know right? Orbitals where a big thing in my chemistry degree, and magnetic fields are basic but until reading this i don't think I'd ever heard or thought about the orbitals changing shape in mag fields. They change shape in reactions and depending on what the element is bound to. Maybe it's only something that happens in the superfields they have there? I don't know. Apparently these U alloys have weird behavior on top of that, too.
- jeffwass 5y agoThe Zeeman Effect of magnetic fields is usually taught in undergrad-level quantum mechanics classes (physics major track), where a degeneracy of the the solution to Schrodinger's Equation for a hydrogen atom is split into separate levels by the magnetic field. There's a similar effect for electric fields too (the Stark Effect).
