How Does the Wave Model of Electrons Orbiting the Nucleus

question 3

Multiple Choice

How does the wave model of electrons orbiting the nucleus account for the fact that the electrons can have only discrete energy values?

• A)Electrons are only able to vibrate at particular frequencies.
• B)When an electron wave is confined,it is reinforced only at particular frequencies.
• C)The energy values of an electron only occur where its wave properties and probability clouds are mutually reinforcing.
• D)The wave model accounts for the types of orbitals an electron may occupy,not it's energy levels.
