the quantum model is also known as which of the following?
the electron cloud model.
planetary model.
the electron orbit model
rewatch
The quantum model of the atom describes the probability of finding an electron in a certain region around the nucleus, which is represented as an electron cloud. The planetary model (like Rutherford's model) shows electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets around the sun. The electron - orbit model is a more simplistic view similar to the planetary model in some ways. The quantum model is based on quantum mechanics and the concept of electron probability distributions, so it is also called the electron cloud model.
