Talk:Orbital motion (quantum)

Natural jargon and explanations

Hooray for articles like this one. So many of these mathematical/physics/technical articles are written by people for whom the jargon associated with these topics is natural and therefore they don't bother supplying the explanations that 'laymen' require to make sense of them. If wikipedia is to be a truly democratic source of knowledge then barriers to information exchange such as this need to be considered.

This is wrong!

The orbitals with nonzero orbital angular momentum really do have something moving, and current flowing in a loop. There is a nonzero probability current density moving in the orbital, which carries momentum and is a genuine electrical current. HEL 02:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Everything in the Universe is in constant motion -- its natural state of being, actually. So I sure hope what you really mean here is that these phenomena simply don't move in the classical sense we've come to expect from our macroscopic experience. Yet they do move.

Horrible Article

I'd strongly consider either merging this elsewhere or just deleting it. It's not enough material to justify having its own article and, regardless, the article is not very well-written or professional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.18.38.100 (talk) 11:45, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Try a Rewrite

I'm gonna take a stab at injecting some real content into this, however I'm not entirely sure there's anything worthwhile that hasn't been said elsewhere. I won't be offended if it all turns out to be a big waste of time... Qwilleranfan (talk) 23:33, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Current loop

Is there an article we can link current loop to? RJFJR (talk) 02:53, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
