Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schrödinger is credited with developing the current mathematical model of the atom, known as the quantum mechanical model. Bohr developed an earlier model of the atom that focused on electron energy levels, but it was limited in its ability to explain the behavior of electrons. Planck's work focused on the behavior of light, while Rutherford is known for his gold foil experiment and his discovery of the nucleus.
