The wave model of the atom uses the basic idea of the Bohr model of the atom, where there is a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons, but the electrons are represented by a probability distribution, instead of by discrete mathematical points. Thus, they are often described as the "electron cloud", and can be viewed as an aggregation of atomic orbitals. This model is based on quantum mechanics, specifically using the Schrödinger equation to calculate the probability distribution. A common example of applying the Schrödinger equation is visualization of the wave model of the hydrogen atom.
