      1/ using the word "spin" here is a very bad idea, because it's overloaded.https://twitter.com/ItsRobbAllen/status/1037748179985461248 …

      Geek thread - A free electron doesn't spin around a nucleus, but as soon as it hops back into a covalent shell.... it starts its blurry little cloud dance. Where does that energy come from?

      3/ You're using "spin" to mean "orbiting the nucleus". ...but actually, electrons to not "orbit" the nucleus.

      4/ If it did, it would be a charged particle moving through a magnetic field, and thus would lose energy (emitted as photons) and bleed away its KE and end up crashing into nucleus. This is what the old model predicted, obviously that didn't happen, so the old model was wrong

      5/ This gave rise to the current model that the electron is not orbiting per se, but exists in a probability cloud. So there's no KE gained / lost from the "orbit" per se when an electron enters/leaves a nucleus.

          6/ There is energy gained / lost as an electron changes which shell its in. This energy is emitted as photons when an electron drops down a tier, and is gained from absorbing a photon, heat, chemical means, etc. Because shells are quantized, photonic emissions are quantized

          8/ Agreed. Climbing to higher shells, or leaving the outermost shell, CONSUMES energy. Dropping into a shell / lower shell emits energy. Ionizing radiation is bad bc it breaks electrons loose from their atoms...IN YOUR BODY https://twitter.com/BrowningMachine/status/1037755203683082245 …

          Replying to @MorlockP

          I think that's the part I'm having a hard time with. It exists in a cloud of probability, but... it doesn't SIT at a spot, it moves. Hence 'electron degeneracy' as pressures increase.

          Replying to @MorlockP

          this is where you lose me, because a probability cloud is just the current (bad?) mathematical model of reality, but not actual reality, because reality does have state. i'm still waiting for better models. i like the aether & fluid dynamics models but it's out of favor.

          You're asserting something that I have not had physicists assert, and - indeed - which they assert the contrary of. The default model is that the probability cloud is not a shitty model (the way we might use a probability distribution for a shuffled card), but the ACTUAL REALITY
