What else can I help you with?
Why cant you determine the exact location of an electron in an atom?
Because the electrons are in constant motion(momentum), so to find their exact location one must find this location plus momentum at the same time. It is thought to be impossible to find the exact location and momentum simultaniously, because, to find location you must stop the particle, and to find momentum the particle must be moving.
Is the position and velocity of an electron in an atom be determined with great certainty?
Not exactly. Electrons orbit the nucleus in an atom. An atom is a fundamental piece of matter. (Matter is anything that can be touched physically.) Everything in the universe (except energy) is made of matter, and, so, everything in the universe is made of atoms. An atom itself is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and the neutrons make up the center of the atom called the nucleus and the electrons fly around above the nucleus in a small cloud. The electrons carry a negative charge and the protons carry a positive charge. In a normal (neutral) atom the number of protons and the number of electrons are equal. Often, but not always, the number of neutrons is the same, too.
What is 1s2 2s2 2p6?
This electron configuration represents the electron arrangement of a nitrogen atom. It shows that nitrogen has two electrons in its 1s orbital, two electrons in its 2s orbital, and six electrons in its 2p orbital.
What location in an atom does an electron have?
Electrons are most commonly found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom. The exact location of an electron within this cloud cannot be pinpointed precisely due to the probabilistic nature of electron behavior described by quantum mechanics.
Why does the uncertainty principle make it impossible to predict a trajectory for the electron?
A wave does not have a discrete position, it has an area, a line defining its location maybe, but never a point. You can say that a wave has a focus point (a circular wave has a center) but such a point is not where any part of the wave is - where it was maybe - but not where it now is.The fact that an electron is a wave (we may think of it as one in certain circumstances) ensures that it does not have a definite position.
What principle states that The location and velocity of electrons cannot be known at the same time?
Uncertainty
What is the charge and location of electrons?
The charge on electrons is equal to -1.6 X 10-19 C. According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, we cannot have the exact location of an electron, only we can have the region where the probability of finding an electron is high.

Why can we not accurately predict where in the electron cloud electrons can be found?
One cannot accurately predict where in the electron cloud an electron can be found because of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. This states that the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, and since we can determine the velocity of the electron, knowing the location with certainty is not possible. The main reason behind this is that as soon as you "look" at the electron, using whatever method available, you will by the very nature of looking at it, alter its position.
The principle that states that two particles of a certain class cannot be in exactly the same energy state?
Pauli exclusion principle is the principle that states that two particles of a certain class cannot be in exactly the same energy state. This principle was formulated by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925.
According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle if the position of a moving particle is known what other quantity cannot be known?
According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle if the position of a moving particle is known velocity is the other quantity that cannot be known. Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the impossibility of knowing both velocity and position of a moving particle at the same time.

Electrons with the same energy compromise an?
Electrons with the same energy occupy the same energy level within an atom. These electrons are referred to as degenerate electrons because they have the same energy state and cannot be distinguished from each other. This is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics known as the Pauli exclusion principle.
Is the heisenberg uncertainty principle a theory of measurement or a physical property of the universe?
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is a property of very small (sub-atomic) objects, and states (in effect) that one cannot know both the velocity of a particle and its exact location. This is true of larger objects as well, but at such an infinitely small scale that it is as close to 0 as you can get.
Why is uncertainity principle fails in larger object?
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle applies only to particles at an atomic scale, and states that we cannot know both the precise location of an electron AND the precise velocity of the electron. To measure one of these, we would change the other in an unknowable way. But this only applies to very tiny particles on the scale of protons or electrons. Once you get up to even a molecular size, the particle is massive enough that the uncertainty effects are less significant than the size of the particle itself.
What does the principle of moment state?
Principle of moments states that:Clockwise moments=Anti-clockwise moments.
Why can 2 electrons in the same orbital never have the same PIN?
Pauli's exclusion principle. Two electrons with the same spin quantum number (+1/2 -1/2 cannot ccupy the same quantum state.
