which scientist developed the quantum mechanical model of the atom?
albert einstein
emest rutherford
niels bohr
erwin schrodinger

Explanation:

• Albert Einstein: Known for the theory of relativity (special and general), not the quantum mechanical model of the atom.
• Ernest Rutherford: Proposed the nuclear model of the atom (a dense, positively - charged nucleus with electrons around it), not the quantum mechanical model.
• Niels Bohr: Developed the Bohr model of the atom (electrons in fixed orbits with quantized energy levels), but it is a precursor and less comprehensive than the quantum mechanical model.
• Erwin Schrödinger: Developed the Schrödinger equation, which is the basis of the quantum mechanical model of the atom. It describes the wave - like behavior of electrons in an atom.

Answer:

Erwin Schrödinger
