Question

What happens electrons in infinite potential well?

Answer 1

Answer:

In quantum mechanics, the particle in a box model (also known as the infinite potential well or the infinite square well) describes a particle free to move in a small space surrounded by impenetrable barriers. ... Likewise, it can never have zero energy, meaning that the particle can never "sit still".

Answer 2

Answer:

The theoretically most straightforward case is the infinite potential well in one dimension, where an electron is confined completely and can never escape, as to do so would require an infinite amount of energy. ... The probability of finding an electron outside this region is zero.
