Quantum Model of the Atom (jan 1, 1926 – oct 23, 2018)

Description:

The model that resulted from several discoveries in the field of physics by various scientists is referred to as the “wave” model.
Bohr’s model worked well in explaining the
behavior of simple atoms, such as hydrogen,
that contained few electrons, but it did not
explain the more complex atoms. The discovery that particles sometimes exhibit wave properties, called the wave-particle duality,
has led to the currently accepted theory of atomic structure called quantum mechanics. The Quantum model proposed that, According to the theory of wave mechanics, electrons do not move about the atom’s nucleus
in a definite path like planets around the Sun. It is impossible to determine the exact location of an electron. The probable location of an electron is based on its energy. Energy levels are divided into four sub-levels, and each sub-level is made up of several pairs of electrons called orbitals. The quantum model of the atom shows how electrons move randomly in electron clouds called orbitals.
