Schrodinger and Heisenberg state that electrons cannot be predicted in 1927. It was stated that the more precisely the position of some particles are determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known.

What did the scientist say to the hydrogen atom that claimed to have lost the electron?
The scientist said "Are you positive"
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 meant by excited state of an electron?
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
What is it called when an electron has 8 electrons in its outer shell?
when an element has 8 electron in outer shell it is said to be inert. inert gases are called noble gases.
What is a atom outer electron shell made of?
You just said it, electrons. The "shell" is just an energy level. It is called a shell because it surrounds the atom, but it is just the electrons. Since there is no way to determine the exact location of an electron, it is referred to as an "electron cloud."
Who said electron paths cannot be predicted?
The idea of the path of an electron being unpredictable was presented by Werner Heisenberg. It was "packaged" as "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle" and that's how we know it today. What Heisenberg actually said was that if we look at an electron, the closer we look at its momentum, the less certain we are about its position. And if we look closely at its position, the less certain we can be about its momentum. There is a trade-off when we look for precision, and we cannot have our cake and eat it too. It's one or the other as regards accuracy.
Who said electrons are found in electron clouds not paths?
Bohr^ wrong. Werner Heisenberg/ Erwin Shrodinger did.So who did, Bohr or Schrodinger and Heisenberg?
What scientist said you cannot predict exactly where an electron is or what pat it will take?
ha
What is the meaning of the word 'predicted'?
'Said in advance' is what the word 'predicted' means.
Which term refers to the region of an atom where an electron is most likely to be found?
That would be the electron cloud. This is like the orbital model where there are electrons in each orbit level but the electron's location can not be predicted so it is said to be most likely at a point in the electron cloud.
Who said Electrons travel in definite paths?
professor NEILS BOHR postulated from his discrete electron orbit theory that electrons get caught in imaginary orbits around the atomic nucleus.
What scientist said you cannot predict exactly where an electron is or what path it will take?
The uncertainty principle was developed by Werner Karl Heisenberg.
If an electron has absorbed energy and has shifted to a higher energy level the electron is said to be what?
This electron is called excited.
What scientist said electrons travel in deffinite paths?
Dalton

What is the Paths around the Nucleus called?
Electrons are said to occupy orbitals, around the atomic nucleus. They do not actually orbit in the manner that planets orbit the sun; they spread themselves out, as an electron cloud, and surround the nucleus rather than moving in an orbit.
The confusing labyrinth of Boston streets are said tho follow what?
Cow paths
