The wave model says that it is impossible to determine the exact location of an electron. Scientists can only predict where an electron is most likely to be found. The probable location of an electron is based on how much energy the electron has.

What does move in an electron wave?
electrons/charged particles.
Do electrons have a particle nature or awave nature?
Yes, in the form of a probability wave. It's important to realize that the wave behavior of electrons in atoms isn't analogous to, say, a wave in the ocean. An electron's wave behavior is one of probability, there's no macroscopic equivalent. The probability of finding an electron at a certain location oscillates like a wave, not the electron itself.
What does an electron dot structure model?
valence electrons
What De broiglie contribution in atomic theory?
He proposed the wave-particle duality for the electrons.
How does the quantum mechanical model describes energies?
According to the modern theory of quantum mechanics the electrons have a vibrating wave character and hence uncertain positions.Sometimes,they are close to the nucleus and sometimes away from it.Thus we can say that the paths of motion of electrons around the nucleus are not definite
Electrons are particles that can do what?
Be a wave as well
Is the wave concept hypothetical?
No. Wave properties of light and electrons are well supported by experimental evidence.
What does move in an electron wave?
electrons/charged particles.
In the wave - mechanical model of the atom orbitals are regions of the most probable locations of?
Electrons
How could we build models of other atoms?
Electrons
What is wave absorption?
Wave Absorption is electromagnetic radiation a.k.a the electrons of an atom. I hope this helped!! XD
What amount of electrons does it take to carry light?
Electrons do not carry light. Light is an electromagnetic wave or a photon.
Is a wave a particle?
At high energies, some subatomic particles can be described as a wave. This is because at high energies they display wave-like properties, such as diffraction. Science works on the basis that we use models to describe the world around us. If a model works, then we can say that it is true. So, at higher energies, the model of an electron being a wave works because it can predict the behaviour of the electron at that time. It may not be the best thing to say that a wave IS a particle, but we can say that certain particles may behave (and can be described) as waves and vice versa.
What does the dual nature of electrons mean?
it behaves as a particle and as a wave
How does the frequency of an electromagnetic wave compare with that of the electrons it sets into oscillation in a receiving antenna?
The frequency of an electromagnetic wave must be very high to release electrons. The electrons that it releases are set into oscillation in a receiving antenna must by definition have a lesser frequency.
Do electrons have a particle nature or awave nature?
Yes, in the form of a probability wave. It's important to realize that the wave behavior of electrons in atoms isn't analogous to, say, a wave in the ocean. An electron's wave behavior is one of probability, there's no macroscopic equivalent. The probability of finding an electron at a certain location oscillates like a wave, not the electron itself.
What is the results in Davisson-Germer experiment?
shows the wave nature of electrons
