Write four quantum numbers for 1s electron?
How are electrons arranged in the quantum mechanical model of an atom
How does the quantum mechanical model describes energies?
According to the modern theory of quantum mechanics the electrons have a vibrating wave character and hence uncertain positions.Sometimes,they are close to the nucleus and sometimes away from it.Thus we can say that the paths of motion of electrons around the nucleus are not definite
What is the name of atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves?
The quantum mechanical model is the name of the atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves.
What would you say if someone said to describe an atom?
The mechanical model shows the nucleus surrounded by electrons similar to the solar system. The quantum model shows a nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons shaped like a doughnut.
How do electrons move around the atoms nucleus?
In orbitals, quantum mechanical statistical clouds that can each hold a maximum of 2 electrons (one spin up, one spin down).
What is the name of the scientist who developed the quantum mechanical model for electrons orbiting the nucleus?
Was it not Neils Bohr. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr#Atomic_research
What do we mean when we say a nucleus has undergone an electron capture process?
You will recall that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom (or in quantum mechanical terms, they surround the nucleus as a cloud). Under some circumstances, one of those orbiting electrons can fall into the nucleus, where it will react with a proton and convert it into a neutron. This is an electron capture process.
The quantum model suggests that electrons?
the quantum mechanical model determines the allowed energies an electron can have and how likely it is to find the electron in various locations around the nucleus.
Who developed the quantum theory of the nuclear atom?
Heisenberg and Schrodinger developed the electron cloud model using quantum mechanical probability functions to determine the the regions, or clouds, in which electrons would most likely be found outside of the nucleus.
Where is the electron located in the quantum mechanical model of the atom?
Rotating around the nucleus.
Which model of the atom shows electrons traveling around the nucleus in wave patterns?
The Bohr Model, and its the basis of quantum theory
How do the Bohr model and the mechanical model of the atom differ in how they describe electrons?
the bohr model suggests that electrons follow orbits around the nucleus. Quantum mechanics describes electrons differently and gives them different properties. It tells us where an electron is most likely to be found but no defined path of motion around the nucleus
