Question
1 point One of the main issues with a traditional picture of an atomis that it doesn't explain why the negatively charged electrons don't just crash into the positively charged nucleus. What is it about the electronwave model that explains this? Only specific energies are allowed, and the energy where the electron is on the nucleus isn't one of those The electron enersy must be spread out over the entirewave, and the allowed waves are not bunched up at the nucleus Both of the above Don't test me yet, Iam trying to gain an understanding before attempting to answer this question

Answer
Both of the above
Explanation
The electron wave model, also known as the quantum mechanical model, explains that electrons exist in specific energy levels and their wave-like nature prevents them from being localized at the nucleus. Both statements provided are correct explanations of this phenomenon.
