Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of atoms at a subatomic level from "summary" of Atoms Under the Floorboards by Chris Woodford
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of very small things, like atoms. Atoms are the building blocks of everything around us, from the air we breathe to the water we drink. They are incredibly tiny—so small that you couldn't see one with the naked eye even if you tried. Atoms are made up of even smaller particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. These particles are constantly moving and interacting with each other in ways that are not always easy to understand. When it comes to describing the behavior of atoms at this subatomic level, classical physics doesn't quite cut it. Classical physics works well for everyday objects like cars and buildings, but when you start looking at things on the atomic scale, things get a bit weird. That's where quantum mechanics comes in. Quantum mechanics has been around for about a century, but it is still one of the most mind-boggling areas of physics. It describes how particles like electrons can exist in mu...
