Marilyn Hartman · Answer 1

Correct answer: It is the currently accepted atomic model.

Explanation: There were many models before this which were taken into account to study the nature of electron. The electron-cloud model was proposed by Erwin Schrodinger.

His model does not tell us about the specific position of the electron but tell us about the most probable position of electron in an atom.

This model uses atom's emission spectra to tell the probability of where the electron might be present.
