Speculation on the wave nature of matter led physicist Louis-Victor de Broglie to predict the allowable orbits and radii of atoms. This discovery was the key to explaining the behavior of multi-electron atoms and multi-atom compounds by establishing the wave-mechanical model, the still-accepted model.
