How many times larger is the radius of the electron cloud than the radius of the nucleus?
100,000 times
Can you explain why the estimation of the diameter of an atom is greater or less than the known value?
Here's a guess... Without getting overly complicated.... The diameter of the atom isn't just the diameter of the atom's nucleus... it is the diameter of the whole atom including the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. As the name implies, an electron cloud represents all the possible locations that the electron could be. This cloud has thickness and therefore the atom could be smaller if the electron is in a portion of the cloud closer to the nucleus or larger is the electron is in a portion of the cloud farther from the nucleus. The "known value" is probably just the average of the two. Therefore, an atom's diameter has a range rather than a fixed value.
What region is there the highest probability of finding an electron?
The region with the highest probability of finding an electron is typically the area closest to the nucleus of an atom, specifically within the electron cloud defined by atomic orbitals. These orbitals, such as s, p, d, and f orbitals, represent areas where the electron density is highest. The exact probability distribution varies depending on the type of orbital and the energy level of the electron, but generally, electrons are most likely to be found in regions near the nucleus.
When the electron cloud is not distributed symmetrically a molecule has a what?
Polarity
Why does the electron cloud have a very small mass?
The electron cloud has such a small mass because that's where all the electrons are! Electrons are fundamental particles having a mass of only 9.109 X 10-31 kg. To put that into perspective, a proton has a mass of over 1,800 times that of the electron.
How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
How many times larger is the radius of the electron cloud than the radius of the nucleus?
100,000 times
How does it's atomic radius compare to that of krypton?
The element krypton's atomic radius is 189 pm. This is a measurement of its atom sizes or the distance between the electron cloud and the nucleus.
What is a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons?
The electron cloud. The atomic radius roughly describes the distance from the nucleus to the electron cloud.
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
How does the size of the nucleus of an atom compare to the size of the electron cloud?
I need to know also
Is the electron found in the electron cloud or in the nucleus?
Cloud...
Is the electron found in the electron cloud or the nucleus?
Cloud...
How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
Where is a electron cloud located?
The electron cloud in an atom is located outside of the nucleus.
How are an atoms nucleus and its electron cloud different?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, while the electron cloud surrounds the nucleus and contains the electrons. The nucleus is positively charged and is much smaller in size compared to the electron cloud. The electron cloud determines the size of the atom and contains most of the atom's volume.
The radius of an atom extends to the outer edge of the what?
The radius of an atom extends to the outer edge of its electron cloud, which is the region where electrons are most likely to be found in. The electron cloud represents the volume of space where electrons can exist around the nucleus of an atom.
