The quantum mechanical model of the atom ___. A) defines the exact path of an electron around the nucleus B) was proposed by Niels Bohr C) involves the probability of finding an electron in a certain position D) has many analogies in the visible world. read more

Bohr's shell model was partially replaced by the quantum mechanical model when the uncertainty principle and the spin of electrons forced scientists to look at electrons differently. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle introduced the problem of predicting where an electron would be. read more

Quantum mechanics has strongly influenced string theories, candidates for a Theory of Everything (see reductionism). Quantum mechanics is also critically important for understanding how individual atoms are joined by covalent bond to form molecules. The application of quantum mechanics to chemistry is known as quantum chemistry. read more
