According to the modern theory the exact location of what is uncertain?
atom
How do modern scientists describe the makeup of matter?
Any substance composed of atoms, that has mass and occupies space.
What element has 2 electron shells and 4 valence electrons?
Two electrons imply that the element is in the second period. The 4 valence electrons says that it is located in group 4A (or group 14 in modern notation). Hence, this element is carbon.The element has 2 electron shells means the element is in the 2nd group. This element is carbon. It has 4 valence electrons.
Why is the ionisation energy of fluorine higher than iodine?
The best modern answer would involve quantum chemistry, but an easier to understand explanation is that the outermost electrons in fluorine are much closer to the nucleus that provides the attraction to hold the electrons and nucleus together as an atom than are the outermost electrons in iodine. This is sometimes called the "screening effect" of inner shell electrons that weakens the attraction between the nucleus and the outer shell electrons in large atoms such as iodine.
According to modern atomic theory it is nearly impossible to determine an electrons exact?
Location and momentum. You can determine either, but not both.
How many valence electrons are in Al?
Aluminium (Al) has three valence electrons.
Compare the position of the electrons in bohr's model of the atom with their positions according to modern atomic theory?
The Bohr atom imagined that electrons orbit the nucleus in much the same way that planets orbit the sun. The modern atomic model has electrons in the form of a cloud that surrounds the nucleus without actually moving in orbit around it. Moving electrons would have to emit photons, lose energy, and spiral into the nucleus, thus destroying the atom. They don't really orbit.

Was modern medicine based on the Aztec understanding of treating diseases?
No, it was not.
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

Valence electrons does Ba have?
Barium has two valence electrons, as can be deduced from its placement in Group 2 of the modern periodic table.
