Sommerfeld's atomic model introduced elliptical orbits and a second quantum number l to explain fine structure and correlate with periodic table placement.
Sommerfeld's atomic model expanded on Bohr's original model by introducing the concept of elliptical orbits for electrons. To explain fine structure, Sommerfeld proposed that the orbits could be elliptical and introduced a second quantum number, l, to indicate the degree of ellipticity. This innovation helped provide correlation with the placement of elements in the periodic table.
