Answer to Question #280647 in General Chemistry for Chuchutvvvvvv

Question

Why can’t we notice quantization of energy in our daily events/ activities?

Answer 1

Typical difference between energy levels are on the order of an electron volt (1.6*10^-19 J). On a macroscopic scale energies are typically on the order of joules so the quantum steps are too small to be noticed. In our daily events/activities we deal with large objects and quantum mechanics produces results indistinguishable from those of classical physics.
