Abstract

The Shannon entropy in the atomic, molecular and chemical physics context is presented by using as test cases the hydrogenic-like atoms Hc, Hec+ and Lic2+ confined by an impenetrable spherical box. Novel expressions for entropic uncertainty relation and Shannon entropies Sr and Sp are proposed to ensure their physical dimensionless characteristic. The electronic ground state energy and the quantities Sr,Sp and St are calculated for the hydrogenic-like atoms to different confinement radii by using a variational method. The global behavior of these quantities and different conjectures are analyzed. The results are compared, when available, with those previously published.
