摘要: 通过对量子态空间、基函数、幺正变换等量子力学基本概念的介绍,阐释了原子结构中z轴表现出特殊性的原因,明确了在球对称的原子结构中,任何方向都不具有特殊性,z轴表观的特殊性主要源自人们选择了特定基函数来描述原子中电子的运动行为。

Abstract: This paper introduces fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics, including quantum state space, basis functions, and unitary transformations, to explain why the z axis appears special in atomic structure. It clarifies that in a spherically symmetric atomic structure, no direction is inherently special. The perceived special nature of the z axis primarily arises from the choice of specific basis functions used to describe the electron motion in the atom.
