The understanding that the position of an electron in an electron cloud cannot precisely be determined was developed by Werner Heisenberg and is known as the?
"Uncertainty Principle". He didn't say that the position can't be precisely determined. He said that the position and the momentum can't both be precisely determined at the same time. The more precisely you determine one, the more fuzzy the other becomes at the same time.
What is the unit of measure in which latitude and longitude is expressed?
