20 wrz 2022 · Quantum Mechanical Atomic Model. In 1926, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) used the wave-particle duality of the electron to develop and solve a complex mathematical equation that accurately described the behavior of the electron in a hydrogen atom.
Schrödinger's Equation describes the behavior of the electron (in a hydrogen atom) in three dimensions. It is a mathematical equation that defines the electron’s position, mass, total energy, and potential energy. The simplest form of the Schrödinger Equation is as follows: \[\hat{H}\psi = E\psi \nonumber \]
• Schrödinger and Heisenberg develop quantum mechanics, in order to explain the behavior of the fundamental particles that make up the atom. By describing electronic distributions around the nucleus, it becomes possible to
The idea that matter (and thus an electron) has both particle-like and wave-like properties is introduced, and chemist Darcy Wanger Grinolds introduces us to quantum dot technology. We also start to consider the impact that the Schrödinger equation had on our understanding of the atom.

Solving the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom reveals quantized energy levels that explain why electrons occupy specific orbits rather than any arbitrary position. This understanding revolutionized atomic theory by introducing concepts like electron shells and orbitals.
Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom. Quantum mechanics is based on Schrödinger’s wave equation and its solution. The solution of the wave equation brings the idea of shells, sub-shells and orbitals.
