How has your increased understanding of the electron led to current atomic models?
Electrons are now treated as both waves and particles.
What is the name of the atomic model in which electrons are treated a waves?
the wave mechanical model is the most current form of the atom. it is based on the probability of where electrons are going to be at a point in time. on diagrams it appears as a cloud around the nucleus.
How the path of an electrons differs in Bohr's model and in the modern model of the atom?
In Bohr's model, electrons travel in a direct, determined path around the nucleus. In the modern model of the atom, electrons behave more like waves on a vibrating string. Basically the electron's path cannot be predetermined.
Where do light waves originate?
Light waves originate from vibrating electrons.
What shortcomings in the atomic model of ernest Rutherford led to the development of niel's bohr's model?
One problem with Rutherford's model was that if electrons moved in such random orbits, they would emit electromagnetic waves, according to the laws of classical mechanics. No radiation was seen, and the release of radiation from the electrons would cause them to decay and lose energy. This would cause the electrons to spiral down to the nucleus, and destroy itself. This model said that all matter was unstable. Like Thompson's, Rutherford's model was still not able to explain atomic emission and absorption in the line spectra. He could not answer to why atoms produce light at specific, discreet wavelengths. He also could not explain why atoms emitted and absorbed at discreet wavelengths as opposed to bands of continuous wavelengths. Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus of the atom and his theory that electrons orbit around the positively charged nucleus led to Neils Bohr's idea that the electrons actually travelled in fixed energy levels, which did not cause electrons to lose energy while orbiting and also explained the light emissions of the atoms.
Who atomic model describes the atom as a nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel as waves in the electron cloud?
Schroedinger
How is the modern atomic model differ from Bohr's model?
The modern model for atoms holds electrons in waves, or clouds, surrounding the nucleus. Bohr's model had these electrons orbiting the nucleus as particles. Who wanna date im SINGLE

Who created an equation that treated electrons moving around nuclei as waves?
He was De-Brogli
What is most accurate about regarding atoms?
The currently accepted atomic model is the Electron Cloud model. It is more accurate than the Bohr model because what Niels Bohr did not know was that electrons weren't always in perfect alignment in perfect orbit around the atomic nucleus. The Electron Cloud model shows that electrons do not have to be perfectly aligned around the nucleus in specific energy level 'rings' as the Bohr model showed.
