The wave (dual) nature of matter, relating wavelength to momentum, was first proposed by:

Answer: de Broglie.

  • A Heisenberg
  • B de Broglie
  • C Schrodinger
  • D Bohr

Correct answer: B. de Broglie

Explanation: Louis de Broglie proposed that every moving particle has an associated wavelength given by lambda = h/mv, establishing the dual nature of matter.

NK (n=1)L (n=2)M (n=3)

Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.

Concept context

Explore how electrons are arranged inside an atom. Covers Bohr's model, quantum numbers, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, shapes of s, p, d orbitals, and electronic configuration rules.
