Abstract

In a treatment of the structure and properties of materials some basic ideas are needed concerning the properties of electrons in isolated atoms and in solids. In this chapter a few of these concepts are introduced briefly and simply. They include the wave mechanical picture of the atom, the idea of quantum numbers and the magnetic properties of atoms. Finally the energy band model for electrons in solids is introduced.
