Question

which scientist believed that the probable, not exact, location of the electrons of an atom can be determined by using mathematics?
rutherford
bohr
dalton
schrödinger

Explanation:

Erwin Schrödinger developed wave - mechanics. His wave equation allows us to calculate the probability of finding an electron in a certain region of space around the nucleus, meaning we can determine the probable, not exact, location of electrons using mathematics. Rutherford proposed the nuclear model, Bohr the Bohr model with quantized energy levels, and Dalton had the atomic theory with solid - sphere atoms, none of which focus on electron probability in this way.

Answer:

D. Schrödinger
