How did the quantum mechanical model of the atom improve on Borh's atomic model?

n the Bohr Model, the electron is treated as a particle in fixed orbits around the nucleus. In the Quantum Mechanical Model, the electron is treated mathematically as a wave. The electron has properties of both particles and waves.

The Bohr model was a one-dimensional model that used one quantum number to describe the distribution of electrons in the atom. The only information that was important was the size of the orbit, which was described by “n” the principle quantum number.

Schrodinger's model (Quantum Mechanical Model) allowed the electron to occupy three-dimensional space. It, therefore, required three coordinates, or three quantum numbers, to describe the distribution of electrons in the atom.

calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide you would need to neutralize a solution containing 7.3g of hydrochloric acid

Mashcka [7]

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40.0 g/mol

Molar mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g/mol

NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O

1*40 g NaOH ------> 1*36.5 g HCl
g NaOH -------> 7.3 g HCl

36.5 g = 40 * 7.3

36.5 g = 292

mass ( NaOH ) = 292 / 36.5

mass ( NaOH ) = 8.0 g of NaOH

hope this helps!.

Atoms of different chemical elements can be differentiated based on the number of.

Alona [7]

The atoms of different chemical elements can be differentiated based on the number of protons.

Each chemical element is differentiated by his number of protons. This number of protons is also knowing as atomic number and it is represented by the letter (Z).

The atomic number represented the number of protons in the nucleus of an element. For example:

The element that has only 1 proton in his nucleus is Hydrogen atom.
The element that has 2 protons in his nucleus is Helium atom.

The atom is the smallest part of the composition of matter, it is indivisible and is composed of a nucleus that has protons and neutrons, and around the nucleus there are the electrons.
