Q7. Minimum momentum uncertainty of an electron in a 3 nm molecule
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle can be written as Δx·Δpₓ ≥ h/4π. For a particle trapped in a one-dimensional box of length L, the maximum value of Δx is L. Calculate the minimum value of Δpₓ for an electron trapped in a linear molecule of length L = 3.0 nm and clearly state the units.
