What does an electron cloud hold?

An electron cloud surrounding an atom is a visualization tool to allow for the discussion of atomic proberties. Since electrons behave with wavelike properties, the "cloud" is a representaion of the probability density of the electron's wavefunctions.


Since electrons exhibit wavelike repeated motion?

Electrons are subatomic particles. Since electrons exhibit wavelike repeated motion, they tend to follow the same path around an atom.


Is wavelike a pronoun?

No, the word 'wavelike' is an adjective, a word that describes a noun as having some properties or characteristics of a wave. A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. Example: The underwater filtration system creates a wavelike motion on top of the water. (adjective, describes the noun 'motion') It makes the lily pads appear to dance. (the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'motion' in the previous sentence)


What part of speech is the word wavelike?

Wavelike is an adjective.


Can a particle be diffracted?

Yes, a particle can be diffracted. Some of these are electrons and neutrons .This is a quantum mechanics theory stating that particles can exhibit wavelike properties.

Does particle of matter have wavelike property?

Yes.


Is electricity a particle or a wave?

An electron is a particle which has such a tiny mass that it moves perceptibly wave-like, instead of following trajectories as we would expect from a moving object. In the beginning of the 20th century scientists discovered that all particles behave like waves. This wavelike behaviour is most obvious in objects with a very, very tiny mass, like electrons, neutrons and photons. It was discovered that electrons don't always move in well defined trajectories. Instead, they seem to spread around a probability wave through space. The probability of detecting an electron in a particular location depends on the amplitude of this wave. Depending on the circumstances, this probability wave can can exhibit interference and diffraction (like any wave), resulting in distinctly wave-like behaviour. All objects (including objects as large as virusses, humans and planets) behave in this wave-like manner. But the probability wave of such a heavy object has such a very, very small wavelength, that its motion can be approximated accurately by trajectories. We are lucky that this is the case, because the wave description of motion is much more difficult to calculate that the trajectory description.


What causes the wavelike movements in earthworms?

Muscular contractions.


What was Schrodinger contribution to the atomic theory?

Edwin Schrodinger stated that rather than electrons being distributed within an electron configuration of shells and energy levels, they were arranged in orbitals which were systematically distributed within Electron Clouds. He defined an orbital as: The region of space that surrounds a nucleus in which two electrons may randomly move. This represents the Quantum Model of Electrons, and described more of the chemical phenomena than the simple Particle or Corpuscular Model. De Broglie's wavelength experiments showed that all matter acts as waves, which also meant that electrons themselves were wavelike. In reality, this was true, combined with the fact that electrons are constantly moving, it was clear that electrons could not be correctly given a definite position within the atom, and instead, were given probable regions, which are the Atomic Orbitals described before. Also, he described the four primary types of orbitals, which are the s, p, d and f-orbitals.
