Select all that explains the modern model of the atom.

• The modern model of the atom is described electrons as occupying orbitals, not orbits.

• The modern model of the atom was based on the probability of finding an electron in a region outside the nucleus.

• The modern model of the atom only explained the hydrogen atom spectrum.

• The modern model of the atom is described as a planetary model, in which electrons orbit the nucleus.
