Key Cross-Links
- de Broglie ↔ Bohr: nλ = 2πr_n links wave theory to Bohr orbits
- Heisenberg ↔ Orbitals: Uncertainty principle → no exact orbits → probability orbitals
- Quantum numbers ↔ Pauli ↔ Capacity: n,l,mₗ,mₛ uniqueness → 2 per orbital → 2 per shell
- Bohr energy ↔ Rydberg: E_n = −13.6/ → → 1/λ = R_H(1/n_{1}^{2} − 1/n_{2}^{2})
- Hund's rule ↔ Magnetic properties: Unpaired electrons → paramagnetism → measured experimentally
