The modern model of the atom describes electrons in a little less specific detail than earlier models did. Why is it that

being less sure about the placement of electrons in an atom is actually an improvement over earlier models?
A.)Electrons do not follow specific paths, so describing the area where an electron is likely to be is more scientifically
accurate,
B.)Electrons were thought to be negatively charged, but now scientists know that their charge depends on their energy
level.
C.)The modern model is based on mathematical equations, so the results become less clear when the decimals are
rounded.
D.)The position of electrons in atomic models has changed so much that it is better to have a less specific model than
to be wrong again.
