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."
The size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's what?
The size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's energy level and angular momentum, which determine the orbitals in which the electrons are most likely to be found. The electron cloud represents the region where there is a high probability of finding the electron at any given time.
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 is the likelihood of locating an electron at the nucleus, given the electron probability distribution in an atom?
The likelihood of locating an electron at the nucleus is very low, as the electron probability distribution in an atom shows that the electron is most likely to be found in regions farther away from the nucleus.
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.
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.
In the modern quantum based atomic theory what is the name given to a particular space around the nucleus in which an electron moves?
In modern quantum-based atomic theory, the space around the nucleus in which an electron moves is known as an electron cloud or orbital. This is a region of space where there is a high probability of finding the electron. The electron cloud is described by the probability density function of the electron's position in the atom.
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!
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.
Where do the electrons of a atom stay?
Electrons in an atom are found outside the nucleus in specific energy levels or orbitals. They are constantly moving in a cloud-like arrangement around the nucleus. The exact location of an electron at any given moment is described by its probability distribution.
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.
