Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about the quantum model of the atom is true?
  • Step 1: Understand that the quantum model of the atom describes how electrons behave.
  • Step 2: Know that in this model, electrons do not move in fixed paths like planets around the sun.
  • Step 3: Learn that instead, electrons are found in areas called probability clouds, where we can only predict where they might be.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this means we cannot say exactly where an electron is at any given moment.
