Hello! Let me try to answer this :)
Thanks and please correct if there are any mistakes ^ ^
H2O is the correct answer :)
Answer:
(i) Bohr; (ii) de Broglie; (iii) Heisenberg (v) Schrödinger
Explanation:
(i) Niels Bohr — 1913 — proposed that electrons travel in fixed orbits with <em>quantized energy levels</em> and that they jump from one energy level to another by absorbing or emitting quanta of light.
(ii) <em>Louis de Broglie</em> — 1924 — proposed the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter behaves as both waves and particles (<em>wave-particle duality</em>).
(iii) Werner Heisenberg — 1927 — formulated quantum mechanics in terms of matrices and proposed his famous <em>uncertainty principle</em>.
(v) Erwin Schrödinger — 1926 — applied wave mechanics to the electron in a hydrogen atom, showing that electrons exist in <em>orbitals </em>rather that orbits.
(iv) <em>Ernest Rutherford</em> — 1911 — proposed that atoms have most of their mass in a central nucleus (<em>nuclear atom</em>). Quantum mechanics had not yet been invented.
This is a question similar to one wrestled with by Newton himself, who didn't understand why the planets didn't fall into each other. The reason satellites don't fly into space is because they are being pulled towards the planet by the planet's gravity.
