This is basic 8th grade science but....

You put the protons in the middle and the neutrons in the middle with it and then put the electrons - valence electrons in the outside and the valence electrons on the outside line. Sorry if that is too confusing, doing my science project that's due tomorrow.

What whirls around the nucleus so quickly that they make a cloud of particles?

Electrons whirl around the nucleus of an atom at high speeds, creating an electron cloud that represents the probability of finding an electron in a particular location. This electron cloud gives each orbital shape and energy level within an atom.


What orbits the center of a atom?

It is somewhat misleading to say that anything orbits the center of an atom. There is an electron cloud that surrounds the center of the atom, but the electrons do not actually orbit, they are just spread out in the form of a cloud.


Which part of an atom make up most of the size?

The electron cloud makes up most of the size of an atom. Electrons are found in regions around the nucleus, and their movement creates a cloud-like structure that extends far beyond the nucleus itself.


What property is missing from aluminum to make it a normal properties of metal?

The property missing from aluminum to make it a normal metal is ferromagnetism. Aluminum is not ferromagnetic because it does not have unpaired electrons in its outer shell that align in a magnetic field, unlike iron, nickel, and cobalt which exhibit ferromagnetic properties. Aluminum is a non-magnetic metal due to its stable electron configuration and lack of magnetic moments.


Is it true that the currently accepted model of the atom includes an electron cloud?

Because it best fits the experimental data. From a layman's perspective (the layman being me, not necessarily you), the reasoning is thus: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that we cannot know both the position and the trajectory of a particle, because in the act of observing the particle we will have altered at least one of those qualities. What we can then deduce about the position of an electron (its 'orbit,' if you will) is not a precise set of values but a range of probabilities as to where that electron will be at a given point in time. That range, represented graphically, describes a fuzzy-edged set of possible locations, in the shape of a hollow sphere (thus "cloud"), at a distance from the atomic nucleus which is determined by the energetic state of that particular electron.

What year did Erwin Schrodinger make the Electron cloud model?

Erwin Schrödinger proposed the electron cloud model in 1926 as part of the development of quantum mechanics in physics. It is a mathematical model that describes the probability of finding an electron in a particular region of space around the nucleus of an atom.


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.


Where is the atom an electrons located?

The electron is located in the electon cloud around the nuclues. some people may say a cloud but it is a electron cloud. hope this helps. Also You can add clouds to make a electron2 cloud

What kind of sub-atomic particle does not make up the nucleus of the atom?

The proton and the neutron make up the nucleus, as the electron orbits the nucleus in the electron cloud.

What is most accurate about regarding atoms?

The currently accepted atomic model is the Electron Cloud model. It is more accurate than the Bohr model because what Niels Bohr did not know was that electrons weren't always in perfect alignment in perfect orbit around the atomic nucleus. The Electron Cloud model shows that electrons do not have to be perfectly aligned around the nucleus in specific energy level 'rings' as the Bohr model showed.


The region around the atomic nucleus occupied by the electrons is called the negative zone?

If your children are hyperactive then it is even more important that you provide structure and discipline. The best ways to do that is to have a routine that the family sticks to and be consistent with punishment. You also need to make sure that you give your child plenty of outlets to get their energy out.

The particles that make up an atom are?

What model do scientists use today to describe how electrons move around the nucleus?

Scientists use the quantum mechanical model to describe how electrons move around the nucleus. This model takes into account both the wave-like and particle-like properties of electrons, providing a more accurate description of their behavior within an atom. It uses mathematical equations based on the principles of quantum mechanics to determine the probability of finding an electron at a given location around the nucleus.
