Bohr's model depicts electrons in orbit around the nucleus.

the electron cloud model shows orbitals within which an electron most likely is at any given time (the movement of electrons are random, and sometimes they get out of their orbital...i'm not making this up!).

the electron cloud model is more accurate because electrons move closer and farther away from the nucleus, while the bohr model shows them at a given radius at all times.

What is the electron cloud called?

Not exactly. An electron is an actual physical particle with a negative charge. An electron cloud is (generally) a spherical area around the nucleus of an atom that predicts where the electrons might be located.


What is a non example of an electron cloud?

A non-example of an electron cloud would be a single isolated electron traveling in a vacuum. In this case, there would be no cloud formation or distribution of multiple electrons around a nucleus.


In the electron cloud model the electron cloud is denser in some locations than in others. What do the denser areas represent?

Denser areas in the electron cloud represent regions where there is a higher probability of finding an electron. These areas correspond to regions of higher electron density and show where electrons are more likely to be located around the nucleus.


What does an electron-cloud model show?

The term "electron cloud" was coined by an American physicist named Richard Feynman. The electron cloud model is a visual representation of the possible locations of electrons in an atom. It is known that electrons are found on orbitals around the nucleus and this model visually allows us to picture the probable locations of the electrons around the nucleus.


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.

What are similar with Dalton model and electron cloud models?

Both the Dalton model and the electron cloud model are representations of the structure of an atom. They both describe the atom as having a nucleus at the center and electrons orbiting around it. However, the electron cloud model introduces the idea of electron probability density clouds instead of fixed orbits.


Model with dark bands representing energy levels shows where an atom's electrons are most likely to be?

This model is called the electron cloud model. The dark bands represent regions of high probability of finding electrons, known as electron orbitals. Electrons are most likely to be found in these regions surrounding the nucleus of an atom.
