What does the wave mechanical model do that the solar system model failed to do?

Niels Bohr's "solar system" model of the atom was an attempt to explain
the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. The model had a negative electron orbiting a positive proton, but the electron was only allowed to occupy particular energy
levels.
The model worked well, but lacked any theoretical basis. The wave mechanical
model gave a reason for the restricted energy levels in terms of the wave
properties of electrons. This developed into "quantum mechanics" which is
probably the most important theory in modern physics.
