Question

The Quantum Mechanical Model is used to describe:
Answers

the energy and most likely location of an electron

the energy and the most likely location of an atom

the location of the electron only

the energy of the atom only

Answer 1

is based on mathematics. Although it is more difficult to understand than the Bohr model, it can be used to explain observations

Answer 2

That doesn't help answer my question...

Answer 3

Well for one thing it explains why electrons don't spiral into the nucleus (as classical physics would predict).

Quantum mechanical theory states that electrons will inhabit discrete energy levels (orbitals). Therefore it would only fall into the nucleus if it lost exactly the right amount of energy, but there is a limit to the energy values it can emit in the form of a photon.

The main point is that available energy values are not continuous and this why electrons fall into strictly defined orbits rather than just going anywhere they want to or colliding with the nucleus.

Answer 4

Ok

Answer 5

does that help

Answer 6

No :/ I think it might be A though. Thanks for your help

Answer 7

sorry if it did not help

Answer 8

It is fine. Do you think it is A?

Answer 9

read that and then there the answer A sound,like it

Answer 10

Ok thanks for your help. I hope A is correct lol

Answer 11

me too

Answer 12

I have one other question I am having trouble with that I am going to post.

Answer 13

ok
