Question 5 • Chemistry

Which atomic model states that it is impossible to know the exact location of electrons around the nucleus?

Answer
A
Dalton model
B
plum pudding model
C
Bohr model
D
electron-cloud model

Explanation

The electron-cloud model describes electrons as being found in regions of probability around the nucleus, rather than at exact, fixed locations. This reflects the principle that an electron’s exact position cannot be known. The Bohr model instead places electrons in specific energy levels.
