Wave ModelThe wave model of the atom uses the basic idea of the Bohr model of the atom, where there is a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons, but the electrons are represented by a probability distribution, instead of by discrete mathematical points. Thus, they are often described as the "electron cloud", and can be viewed as an aggregation of atomic orbitals. This model is based on quantum mechanics, specifically using the Schrdinger equation to calculate the probability distribution. A common example of applying the Schrdinger equation is visualization of the wave model of the hydrogen atom. Created by Schrodinger 1927 Wave Model Instead of a set orbit path, there is a cloud in which electrons move around the nucleus in. Our current atomic model External links
