Quantum mechanical model example definitions formulaes learn with videos schrodinger's wave equation 12 mins features of quantum mechanical model 4 mins The electron position of the atom is described as a mathematical function called wave function (ψ) This model is more accurate compared to other atomic models It stated that the electrons revolve around the atomic nucleus and. Earlier scientists proposed a lot of theories explaining the probable structure of the atom This started when democritus described the atoms as tiny, indivisible solid spheres, which was known as the billiard ball model
As time passed by, several revisions were proposed Today, the accepted model is the quantum theory, which explains the structure of the atom as a wave function. Developed by schrodinger, this model is based on the particle and wave nature of electron is known as wave mechanical model of atom The motion of electron around nucleus is round motion and may be considered to be analogous to the standing waves the waves which are generated by plucking the stretched string.
