Question

The Bohr model of the atom described the position of an electron as circling the nucleus in set orbits with a specific radius. Current atomic theory describes the location of the electron more accurately. What are the three main parts of an electron's "address" used in the current atomic theory that describe an electron's location?

Answer 1

Answer: principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l) and magnetic quantum number (m)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to quantum mechanics, there are three sets of quantum numbers which accurately describes the electrons position; principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l) and magnetic quantum number (m). These three quantum numbers are obtained from Schrödinger wave equation.
