jan 6, 1926 - In 1926 Erwin Schrödinger, an Austrian physicist, took the Bohr atom model one step further.
Schrödinger used mathematical equations to describe the likelihood of finding an electron in
a certain position. This atomic model is known as the quantum mechanical model of the atom.
Unlike the Bohr model, the quantum mechanical model does not define the exact path of
an electron, but rather, predicts the odds of the location of the electron. This model can be
portrayed as a nucleus surrounded by an electron
