Question
the quantum mechanical model of the atom ____.
has many analogies in the visible world
defines the exact path of an electron around the nucleus
was proposed by niels bohr
involves the probability of finding an electron in a certain position
The quantum mechanical model of the atom is based on quantum theory, which states that matter also has wave - like properties. In this model, we cannot define the exact path of an electron around the nucleus (unlike the Bohr model). Instead, we can only talk about the probability of finding an electron in a certain region (orbital) around the nucleus. The Bohr model (not the quantum mechanical model) proposed by Niels Bohr defined fixed paths (orbits) for electrons. Also, the quantum mechanical model is quite abstract and does not have many direct analogies in the visible world.
