The wave-mechanical model of the atom was proposed by
Erwin Schrodinger that combined the works of Bohr and de Broglie. The electron
was a three dimensional wave circling the nucleus in a whole number of
wavelengths allowing the waveform to repeat itself as a stable standing wave
(it can absorb energy form a nearby source which is oscillating at a proper
frequency) representing the energy levels of Bohr model. He also said that Broglie’s
model was correct about the matter waves and the electrons are located in the
atomic space according to standing wave frequencies.
