Question 4 • Physical Science

Which scientist believed that the probable, not exact, location of the electrons of an atom can be determined by using mathematics?

Answer
A
Bohr
B
Rutherford
C
Dalton
D
Schrödinger

Explanation

Erwin Schrödinger developed the quantum-mechanical model of the atom, which uses mathematics to describe the probable locations of electrons. It does not assign electrons exact paths or positions; instead, it gives regions where they are likely to be found. Therefore, the correct choice is Schrödinger.
