Re:A model over a hundred years old (Score 1)

The only reason by which the model of orbits has been enduring is that is a pretty sketch, it is aesthetic and has a good sight. It's important to you the ease to understand based on a model whith no scientific fundamentals? Obviously we are not a supercomputer, but there are options. The enduring heritage of Bohr's model is the concept of energy levels. So, one adequate way to simplify through abstractions are the diagrams of energy levels of atoms. They are correct to explain electronic structure and electron sharing in covalent bonds, they are correct to explain metallic bond, they are correct to explain ionic bonds, ionization energy, electron affinity, fluorescence, spectra, and so on. This diagrams are easy to draw and easy to understand, what else you want?
