What is The position of the electron in the atom?
Quantum Mechanics has changed the thinking of where is an electron since the days of classical electron theory. In the classical theory, we think of an electron as a particle that orbits about the nucleus like the moon orbiting the earth. The lowest orbit has two electrons (1s2), the next orbit has eight (2s2 + 2p6), etc. Now, it is general agreed that we can only speak of probability -- the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. The Noble laureate, Richard Feynman, coined the term "electron cloud" to describe the distribution of the probability function. Perhaps, the question of finding the position of the electron in an atom becomes the question of finding the distance from the nucleus with the highest probability of finding a specific orbital electron. I have included two related links for further reading. The subject is too complex to be covered with one posting -- it takes a few college courses, at least. =============================
What is often thought of as a region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron?
Electron Cloud
In the electron cloud model the electron cloud is denser in some locations than in others. What do the denser areas represent?
Regions where the probability of finding an electron is high.
Why is a boundary surface diagram useful in representing an atomic orbital?
Boundary surface diagrams is are useful to show the probability of finding an electron in 3d.It will only show
What is a molecular orbital?
A cloud of electrons orbit an atom and its nucleus.
In an s orbit the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does not depend on?
It would not depend on the direction with respect to the nucleus. The direction of the electron has no effect on the distance of the electron from the nucleus.
The electron cloud is least dense where the probability of finding an electron is?
the electron cloud is least dense where the probability of finding an electron is LOWEST
What is a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons?
The electron cloud. The atomic radius roughly describes the distance from the nucleus to the electron cloud.
In an s orbital the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does not depend on a quantum mechanical model direction with respect to the nucleus the schrodinger e?
To the extent that I can make any sense of the question: Yes, the probability function for an s orbital is spherically symmetric and dependent on radial distance only.
What do electron clouds have?
They are the probability of finding the electrons.

What is the probability of finding an electron in an orbital?
I got no idea
What name is given to a region of an electron probability density graph where the probability of finding the electron is zero?
The region of zero electron density is called a "node."
Region of high probability of finding an electron?
atomic orbital
A region of high probability of finding an electron?
atomic orbital
Who estimates the probability of finding an electron in a certain position?
It is usually a physicist.
What is often thought of as a aregion of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron?
These are sometimes called 'electron clouds'.
