What is the radius of the electron's spiral path?

The radius of the electron's spiral path is determined by its energy and the strength of the magnetic field it is moving through.


Who said electron paths cannot be predicted?

The idea of the path of an electron being unpredictable was presented by Werner Heisenberg. It was "packaged" as "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle" and that's how we know it today. What Heisenberg actually said was that if we look at an electron, the closer we look at its momentum, the less certain we are about its position. And if we look closely at its position, the less certain we can be about its momentum. There is a trade-off when we look for precision, and we cannot have our cake and eat it too. It's one or the other as regards accuracy.


Does a tornado move in a predictable path?

Tornados are generally unpredictable in terms of their exact path and can change direction rapidly. Meteorologists use various tools to forecast tornado activity and issue warnings, but the specific path a tornado will take cannot be predicted with certainty.


What scientist said you cannot predict exactly where an electron is or what path it will take?

The scientist who said this is Werner Heisenberg. He formulated the uncertainty principle, which states that it is impossible to know both the exact position and momentum of a particle, such as an electron, simultaneously.


What is called the total path length covered by a moving object?

The total path length covered by a moving object is called displacement.

What about Bohr's atomic theory was partially and was also refined by other scientists?

well an Austrian physicist named Erwin Schrodinger and German physicist name Werner Heisenberg refined Bohr's conclusion that the exact path of an electron cannot be predicted , but there are certain area in an atom that where electrons are likely to be found these are called electron clouds. The part that's right is that they can still move around.


The bohr model is an innaccurate model of the atom because there is no way to measure the exact of an electron in an atom?

It is an inaccurate model, because there is no way to measure the exact mass, path, and charge of an atom

Any variance in the orbit of a body from its predicted path is called?

Precession


What is the path an electron travels called?

An electron cloudANSWER:An orbit. --------------------------------------------------------------Heisenberg's work only allows us to talk about the Fourier components of the motion. Since the Fourier components are not defined at the classical frequencies, they can not be used to construct an exact trajectory. Thus one can not answer precise questions about where the electron is or how fast it is going.


What force keeps the earth moving in this path?

It is the centripetal force of the sun that's keeping the earth moving in its path


Why are electron in the electron cloud?

electron cloud refers to orbit present in the atom and electron can can be revolved by the orbit only as it is an imaginary path made of energy


Do Hurricanes follow orderly and predictable paths?

Only to a limited degree. Many hurricanes do follow the same general trend in the paths they take. While the general path of a hurricane can be predicted within reason, the exact path of a hurricane is never quite certain. Furthermore, some hurricanes do follow unusual paths.


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.
