Electrons in Atoms

In this activity you will investigate the quantum world of atoms. You will compare and contrast the energy level diagrams, spectra and electron probability clouds of the hydrogen atom, the helium ion He+ and the lithium ion Li2+. Your task is to investigate how these properties depend on the atomic number Z of the atom or ion.
