What is the structure of atom according to quantum mechanical model?
The structure of the atom consists of a positively charged nucleus densely packed with neutrons and protons. The electrons interact with the nucleus as waves and are confined within discreet levels, all described by the principal quantum number (tells you what energy level the electron is in), the azimuthal quantum number (tells you the angular momentum of the electron and the shape of the orbital where the electron resides), the magnetic quantum number (tells you projection of the angular momentum of the electron aka the orientation of the orbital in space), and the spin number (electrons are Fermions and have spins of +/- 1/2). The principal quantum number and the azimuthal quantum number comprise the radial function of the wave equation describing the electron. The radial function tells you the probability of finding an electron at a given distance from the nucleus for a given orbital. The azimuthal quantum number and the magnetic quantum number comprise the angular function of the
