The document summarizes the development of modern atomic models from Rutherford's model to the current quantum mechanical model. It describes Bohr's planetary model which explained emission spectra by quantizing electron energy levels. Later, quantum mechanics with Schrodinger and Heisenberg refined Bohr's model using wave and cloud descriptions of electrons in distinct orbitals. The rules of quantum mechanics such as Aufbau principle and Hund's rule are explained. Finally, it shows how the location of s, p, d and f orbitals relate to the periodic table and electron configurations.
