Schrodinger's atomic model is one of the most powerful models of the atom. Developed in 1926, it combines wave-based wave equations with de Brolie's equation to create a mathematical model of the electron distribution in an atom.

Schrodinger's theory thought of electrons as waves and treated them as negative charge clouds. Schrodinger's equation shows where an electron is most likely to be in the orbitals.

A big discovery that was the main point of theory were the Orbitals and Orbits.Orbits and orbitals sound similar, but they're actually quite different. Orbits are regions where you can find an electron, while orbitals are mathematical equations that show how likely it is to find an electron inside an orbital.

In contrast to Bohr’s model, electrons in Schrodinger's model are not in sharp orbits, but rather in orbitals. Schrodinger atomic model is also based on quantum mechanics and wave nature, which are both described by wave functions.

It treats an electron as a wave and provides the probability (the “best”) of finding an electron’s position in orbitals at a given point in time. This model therefore takes uncertainty into account.
