What is the main difference between the Schrödinger model and the Bohr atomic model?
Answer
A
The Bohr model did not explain the emission and absorption spectrum, but the energy levels described by Schrödinger explained this property.
B
Bohr believed that the electrons circle the nucleus because positive particles attract negative particles, while Schrödinger believed that an electron was a wave.
C
Schrödinger believed that electrons could only exist in orbits, but Bohr stated that electrons could be found anywhere in the atom.
D
Bohr believed electron orbits were circular, but Schrödinger’s equations represent complex shapes describing the probable locations of electrons.
