Question

The quantum mechanical model of the atom ____. a. defines the exact path of an electron around the nucleus b. was proposed by Niels Bohr c. involves finding an electron somewhere in a specific orbital d. has many analogies in the visible world

Answer 1

c. involves finding an electron somewhere in a specific orbital

Answer 2

Quantum mechanical model = involves finding an electron somewhere in a specific orbital.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantum mechanical model of an atom involves finding an electron somewhere in a specific orbital. This method is completely based on mathematical calculations. It defines the probability of finding an electron rather than its reality.

These are designated by some letters like s, p, d, f...... and the corresponding energy levels are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on.....

So, the correct option is (c) "involves finding an electron somewhere in a specific orbital".
