1. How do scientists model the structure of matter?
Scientists model the structure of an atom using the electron cloud model. It was developed by Erwin Schrödinger after he took Neils Bohr's discovery and took it to a whole new level. Bohr's discovery was that he found quantum, energy an electron releases when returning to its ground state. Schrödinger took Bohr's ideas and found that electrons do in fact go in orbitals, but in different angles and shapes. Schrödinger 's model is the most exact and current model we have to use in the present day. It helps us to understand the structure of matter the best.
