How does the electron cloud model of the atom represent the locations of electrons in atoms?
Scientists do not use the electron cloud model to describe the exact location of electrons around a nucleus. Electrons are quantum particles that exist as points and waves. As a wave, it cannot be said that an electron occupies any exact location, rather, the probability of its charge's existence is spread out in a cloud surrounding the atom.
