Erwin Schrodinger Biography:

 * Born 1887, in Vienna, Austria
 * Born to a Catholic father and a Lutheran mother
 * Studied in Vienna sometime between 1906 and 1910
 * Teachers were Franz Serafin Exner and Fredrich Hasenori
 * Between 1914 and 1918, he was an officer in the Austrian fortress artillery
 * In April, 1920, Schrodinger married Annemarie Bertel
 * Became Max Wien's (scientist) assistant the same year
 * Became an associate professor in September, 1920, then a full professor in Poland.
 * Published a paper on wave mechanics, known as the "Schrodinger equation"
 * Contained correct energy eigenvalues for hydrogen atom
 * Published papers about the diatomic molecule and the Stark effect
 * Schrodinger taught Max Planck at the Freidrich Wilhelm University in Berlin, Germany in 1927
 * Resigned from this position in 1933 due to dislike of Nazis and their antisemitism
 * Accepted a position at the University of Grax in Austria in 1936
 * Had difficulties with Nazis when Hitler took over Austria two years later
 * Nazis knew about Schrodinger's hate for them
 * Nazis harassed him, removed him from his job at the University, and ordered him not to leave the country.
 * Schrodinger and his wife escaped to Italy
 * For 17 years, he was director of the School for Theoretical Physics in Dublin, Ireland.
 * He published 50 more pieces of his work
 * Went back to Vienna, Austria in 1956
 * Wouldn't talk about nuclear energy when he attended a lecture during the World Energy Conference in Austria
 * He was skeptical about the whole concept
 * Gave a philosophical lecture instead
 * Died on January 4, 1961 of tuberculosis
 * Died at age 73
 * Buried in Alpbach, Austria
 * Was a man of great knowledge
 * Died leaving many fascinating works behind for the world to learn from

**Atomic Model:**
**The Electron Cloud : **
 * Erwin Schrodinger devised a relatively simple design for his atomic model, showing a nucleus surrounded by electron shells.
 * These shells are in turn made up of a number of subshells, the amount of which being the same as the shell number.
 * So there is one subshell in the first shell, two in the second, and so on, as seen in the picture bellow.
 * Schrodinger proposed electrons' behavior was wavelike and their exact location is cannot be easily calculated.
 * His evidence of this was his Schrodinger equation, which gives the quantized energies of the system and gives the form of the wavefunction so that other properties may be calculated (from http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/quantum/Schr.html; Schrodinger equation).
 * ===Erwin Schrödinger built upon the thoughts of Bohr yet took them in a new direction.===
 * ===He developed the probability function for the Hydrogen atom (and a few others).===
 * ===The probability function basically describes a cloud-like region where the electron is likely to be found.===
 * ===It can not say with any certainty, where the electron actually is at any point in time, yet can describe where it ought to be.===
 * ===Clarity through fuzziness, is one way to describe the idea.===
 * ===The model based on this probability equation can best be described as the cloud model.===
