Who used math to explain the location and energy of electrons in a atom?
Erwin Schrodinger
What evidence did Erwin Schrodinger have to support is theory?
When Schrodinger applied his mathematical formulae to the permitted states of an electron in a hydrogen atom, he found they perfectly matched the Bohr Model, which had perfectly predicted hydrogen spectral lines. For Schrondinger, that was good enough for him to publish his work. Max Born later showed that the Schrodinger Equation could be used to accurately predict particle scattering from a nucleus. However, Born showed that this would only work if one assumes that the cross-product of Schrodinger's Wave Function represents the probability of a point charge being in a specific place; something that Schrodinger never accepted.
Who said electrons are in a cloud?
All matter is composed of atoms. An atom consists of a nucleus (it contains the positively charged neutrons). The electrons orbit the nucleus in a ring, therefore we refer to the electrons as the electron cloud.

How did Schrodinger and De Broglie change Bohr's model of an atom?
Neils Bohr made the ASSUMPTION that electrons could only exist in discrete energy levels when the electrostatic field of a nucleus -- he made no attempt to show WHY this was so. Louis de Broglie postulated that electron movement could be described as a wave, with the wavelength being equal to Planck's Constant divided by the electron's momentum. Starting with this postulate, one can derive that the only permitted radial orbits of an electron are those with a circumference equal to a multiple of these wavelengths. Erwin Schrodinger devised a mathematical formula for which one could derive these energy levels -- and a lot more. As such, Schrodinger's Equation was more fundamental to our understanding of sub-atomic reality. Schrondinger viewed his wave function (more precisely, the product of the wave function) as the charge density of a smeared-out electron. Although you didn't ask, it was Max Born who showed that the wave-function product was, instead, the probability of finding a point-like electron at a specific place and time.
What is the name of the scientist that developed the quantum mechanical model of the atom?
Erwin Schrodinger invented the model of the atom based on research done by scientists such as Niels Bohr.
Who developed a more impressive model of atom in 1926?
The current picture of the hydrogen atom is based on the atomic orbitals of wave mechanics which Erwin Schrodinger developed in 1926. This model is based on the Schrodinger Equation.
Who designed a mathematical equation for the model of the atom?
Erwin Schrodinger
Who discover the quantum mechanical model of the atom?

Who used math to explain the location and energy of electrons in a atom?
Erwin Schrodinger
What did the model of the atom proposed by Erwin Schrodinger suggest?
Schrodinger is the author of the well known equation; this equation can describe an atom. That there was a great deal of uncertainty as to where things were and that waves were as important as particles.
Who created the first model of a atom?
The Australian scientist, M Vella came up with this model in the late 1900's.
When did Erwin Schrodinger conduct the Cat Experiment?
Erwin Schroedinger created his model of the atom in 1926. Schroedinger was an Austrian physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933.
Which scientist was able to determine the electronic structure of the atom using an equation known as the quantum model that included the wave nature of the electron?
Erwin Schrodinger
What are the contributions of erwin schrodinger in physics?
He mathematically calculated theregion around a nucleus of atom where electrons may exist or he calculated the probability to find the electron around nucleus.
What did schrodinger think the atom looked like?
Erwin Schrodinger proposed the modern atomic model, known as the "wave-mechanical" model. Essentially, he said that atoms behave like both waves and particles, and purported the concept of electron shells, subshells, and orbitals. Electrons are found on "shells" of charge outside the atom. These shells divide into subshells, which divide into orbitals.
