    This document summarizes the quantum theory of the atom. It states that the quantum model is more sophisticated than the Bohr-Rutherford model. Electrons have quantized energy levels and occupy three-dimensional regions called orbitals, where they have a high probability of being located. Electrons behave both as particles and waves. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle indicates that the more precisely the position of an electron is known, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. While the Bohr-Rutherford model depicts electrons traveling in circular paths, the quantum model depicts electrons constantly moving within the region of the nucleus in unpredictable ways.

    Quantum Theory Of The Atom

    September 4, 2013

    More sophisticated model than Bohr-Rutherford e have a quantized amount of energy e occupy a 3D Region in space (orbital) (region of high Probability of finding a e in an orbital) e Behave like particles & waves (just like photons Light can be bent) Heinsenburg Uncertainty Principle Theory energy You cant measure both position and magnitude of an e with great certainty because of the measurement of one alters the other. Differences Bohr-Rutherford 1) 2D 2) Location of e is predictable 3) es travel on circular paths around the nucleus Similarities 1) Contains a positive nucleus 2) es have discreet amounts of energy Quantum Mechanical Model 3D Location of e is unpredictable e is constantly moving around area of nucleus
