Question

How can an electron leap between atomic levels without passing through all the space in between?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The orbital shapes with more fluctuations (with more highs, lows, and bends to its shape) contain more energy. In other words, when an electron transitions to a lower atomic energy level, its wave shape changes to have less kinks in it. But the electron does not "leap" anywhere.Jun 18, 2014
