What is the probability that Beta minus decay will occur on a given neutron in a given second?
The probability is very close to zero.
What is the probability of getting 4 of a kind given 13 cards from a deck of card?
The probability is 1.The probability is 1.The probability is 1.The probability is 1.
What is theoretical probability mathematical wise?
Theoretical probability:Theoretical probability is when you decide what is the probability of something using the information that is given to you!
Is the probability that it will rain tomorrow is 28 percent an example of classical probabilityor empirical probability or subjective probability?
Subjective based on information given
What is the probability of flipping a coin and having it land on heads two times in a row?
We have no way of knowing the probability of any given person flipping any given coin at any given time. But for any two flips of an honest coin, the probability that both are tails is 25% . (1/4, or 3 to 1 against)
What name is given to a region of an electron probability density graph where the probability of finding the electron is zero?
The region of zero electron density is called a "node."
What happens to an electron if it is given energy?
An electron emits energy in the form of an x-ray (a photon) when its energy level in the electron cloud decreases as a result of reduction in the excitation level of the cloud. This means that the position of the electron in the cloud changes to a lower level.
Quantum mechanics can be used to calculate the probability of an electron's what at any given time?
An electron's location or momentum, but not both.
What do we call a region in space where an electron with a particular energy is likely to be found?
We could use the term orbital if it refers to an electron bound in an atom. The term atomic orbital or electron orbital might be applied in this case. They are areas of probability where, because an electron has a given energy, it may be more likely to be found. Got a link to the Wikipedia on atomic orbitals for ya. Check it out and gain in knowledge.
The space in which electrons are likely to be found is called the?
It is called the electron cloud, the volume in which electrons are most likely to be found. This area is given by Schrodinger's wave equation, which defines psi, the wave function, which squared (psi2) is the probability density. Thus, high probability density equates high electron density. so get over it!
Does a electron cloud have a specific size?
It is impossible to know exactly where an electron is. Thus, the size of an electron cloud can be given only in terms of probability. Even then, the size of the electron cloud depends on how many electrons an atom possesses.
What is the name given to the electron in the highest occupied energy level?
Valence.
Where is the location of an electron in an electron cloud?
This great question is one of the questions in physics that led to quantum mechanics. It turns out that the electron's location cannot be determined with precision. It can only be assigned a probablity associated with it being in a given location at a given time. Furthermore, it is a mistake to think that this is because it is just difficult to do. The electron's position truly is only a probability not matter how carefully you try to measure it.
Will an electron excite if it is given energy that will allow it to exist in between two energy levels?
Will an electron excite if it is given energy that will allow it to exist in between two energy levels? No An electron can only exist in specific energy levels. Giving an electron more energy can make it escape from the attraction of the protons completely and the atom now has 1 less electron and is a +1 ion. Have you seen an electron discharge tube? If I turn up the power, the tube will become brighter, but the color will not change. The color of light is the product of the electron returning from the excited state to its ground state.

Where can electrons be located at any time?
According to quantum theory, we can never know the exact location of an electron at any given time. If the electron is part of an atom, the best we can do is state the probability that the electron can be found within a given region about the nucleus. Often that information is good enough for our purposes.
What does an electron cloud show?
That depends on how it's drawn. It may give some idea of the probability of finding an electron in a given location, or it may just show the region of space where the electron is likely to be found. If it looks like a bunch of individual dots, the density of the dots gives some indication of the probability (the closer together the dots are in a region, the higher the probability of finding the electron in that region). If it looks like a solid object (or a collection of solid objects), it's just the region(s) where the probability is over some value.
What is a probability distribution map?
A probability distribution map is a statistical map that shows where an electron is likely to be found under a given set of conditions. It is helpful to predict the movements of electrons and other atomic particles.
