Answer

Bohr's model states with 100% certainty that the electron in hydrogen can be found at 0.53Å from the nucleus.

Work Step by Step

The quantum mechanics model is a statistical model that affirms the probability of finding the electron in certain regions around the nucleus. While 0.53 Å is the radius with the highest probability, this probability is always less than 100%.
