Electron as a Wave: An Activating Messenger. Beyond their Bouncing Electronic Objects Representation, Could it be that Reactive Molecules Behave as Wave-Interconnected Objects?

Abstract

In this paper, a new mechanism explaining chemical reactions is proposed. The statistical process of “bouncing” molecules is completed by a matching procedure between wave-compatible molecules. This mechanism is elaborated in the light of the wave-particle duality of quantum physics, a property not as much used in chemistry as it has been in other domains, despite the advances permitted by Schrodinger’s equation. Numerical values for the hydrogen atom illustrate the mechanism which is then applied to offer a new representation of reactions between molecules. This representation converges with the HOMO LUMO approaches of reactivity. The concept could help in narrowing the gap between chemistry and biology.
