quantam mechanucal model

Who discovered that particles/electrons can be described as waves?

Louis de broglie

What did erwin schrödinger do?

Built on broglie- developed the wave equation to figure out where an electron can be found (which orbital an electron can have)

What is the quantum mechanical model

Model of the atom that describes where electrons are likely to be found

What is an orbital?

Regions of space around the nucleus where electrons can be found (high probability)

How are electrons organized

• not perfectly circular orbits

• regions of space around the nucleus

Who made the election cloud model

Schrödinger, built on louis de broglie’s idea that electrons behave like waves

Who developed the wave equation

Schrödinger

What is the wave equation?

Describes the wave like behaviour of electrons.

• Only certain solutions are allowed, which determine the orbitals where an electron can be found.

Each orbital can be described by a quantum number. Name them.
