Notes

In 1926, Schrödinger took the Bohr Atom model further and calculated a mathematical equation to discover the probability of an electron occurring in different places or in a certain position. The Quantum Mechanical model of the atom doesn't specifically define the place or movement of the path that the electrons in an atom go rather than give the statistics and probability of an electron being at a certain position in the atom at a certain time. This model is seen and understood as a nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud. This is where Schrödinger found that in the cloud the electrons are more often found in the most dense portions of the cloud and not as likely in the less dense parts of the electron cloud. This is where the concept of sub-energy levels was first introduced. Schrodinger said that all matter acts as waves, and electrons themselves were wavelike. He said that electrons were constantly moving and didn’t have one definite or fixed position in the atom.
