1

An electron in an atom can move from one energy level to another when the atom gains or loses energy

2

Scientists use the electron cloud model to discribe the possible locations of electrons around the nucleus

3

An electron cloud is a good approximation of how electrons behave in their orbitals

4

The most stable electrion configuration is the one in which the electrons are in orbitals with the lowest possible energies.

5

It represents the electrons that are too fast to know where they are at one point in time.

6

The 2 electrons on the first orbital have an energy level of 1 while the 3 electrons on the 2nd orbital have an energy level of 2

7

Incomplete - the Bohr Model shows that instead of flying around the nucleus randomly, the atoms actually flew around it in fixed circles.

8

The location of the electrons are unexpected and can never be known as they are too fast to know with 100% certainty. We need to use probability to predict where it is.
