Question

ch9. q1
the quantum mechanical model of the atom ____.
o has many analogies in the visible world
o defines the exact path of an electron around the nucleus
o was proposed by niels bohr
o involves the probability of finding an electron in a certain position

Explanation:

The quantum mechanical model of the atom is based on quantum theory, which states that matter also has wave - like properties. According to this model, we cannot know the exact path of an electron. Instead, we can only calculate the probability of finding an electron in a certain region around the nucleus. This is different from the Bohr model (proposed by Niels Bohr) which defined the exact path of an electron. Also, the quantum mechanical model has few analogies in the visible world as it deals with the microscopic world of atoms and sub - atomic particles which behaves differently from macroscopic objects.

Answer:

involves the probability of finding an electron in a certain position
