Roger Burke · Answer 1

Quantum mechanical atomic model.

Explanation:

The first model of electronic configuration was given by Bohr's model.

The most accurate model of electronic configuration is the quantum mechanical atomic model.

Bohr's model has various limitations:

1. It does not explain the Zeeman effect and stark effect.

2. It is not valid for multi-electron system.

3. Heisenberg uncertainty principle is not followed by this model

The quantum mechanical atomic model explains all the four quantum numbers for the electronic configuration of an atom in the periodic table.

The quantum mechanical atomic model considered the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Bernard Harper · Answer 2

Quantum mechanical atomic model.

Explanation:

The atom model given by quantum mechanics is the most modern, precise and complex, based on the mathematical form of the atomic structure.

Quantum theory states that matter has properties associated with waves, which is why the atom model was based on this theory. The so-called "Uncertainty Principle" states that the electron has no exact position in the electrosphere, no definite speed and direction. This is why the Bohr atom, with electrons spinning in circular orbits, is surpassed by the quantum model.
