The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom Explains Probabilities of Where Electrons Will Be

The electron can only exist when there is a certain regular interference of waves producing a stable standing wave pattern. The Schrodinger equation and wave function explain the probabilities of where electrons will be. This new model explains the quantization of energy levels and discrete lines in the emission spectrum that had puzzled earlier classical observers. It also does away with the problem of electrons spiraling into the nucleus according to classical theory because Maxwell's equations no longer apply to this unique situation.
