What is the shape of an electron cloud is determined by?

The energy sublevel.


What is an electron cloud shaped liked?

The shape of an electron cloud depends on the energy sublevel. Each electron cloud is different, so there is no definitive shape.


Size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's?

Size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's energy level and angular momentum. Electrons with higher energy levels tend to have larger electron clouds, while the shape is determined by the angular momentum quantum number.


The volume of an atom is determined by the size of its?

It can be determined by the size of it's electron. The reason for this being is because of the mass that is calculated by the protons to the neutrons of the atoms within the nucleus.


The physical size of an atom is largely determined by?

The physical size of an atom is largely determined by the size of the electron cloud.


The size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's what?

The size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's energy level and angular momentum, which determine the orbitals in which the electrons are most likely to be found. The electron cloud represents the region where there is a high probability of finding the electron at any given time.


What is cloud shape in chemistry?

This refers to the shape of the electron orbitals, which are often thought of as clouds of electronic charge.


What are the region around the nucleus where the electrons are located called?

The region around the nucleus where the electrons are located is called the electron cloud or electron shell. Electrons exist in specific energy levels within these shells, determined by their distance from the nucleus.


What is defined as the most probable in the electron cloud orbital?

The most probable location of finding an electron in an atom is determined by the electron cloud orbital, which represents the regions where an electron is likely to be found. These regions are shaped by the probability distribution function of the electron within an atom, as described by quantum mechanics.


The understanding that the position of an electron in an electron cloud cannot precisely be determined was developed by Werner Heisenberg and is known as the?

"Uncertainty Principle". He didn't say that the position can't be precisely determined. He said that the position and the momentum can't both be precisely determined at the same time. The more precisely you determine one, the more fuzzy the other becomes at the same time.

Is the electron found in the electron cloud or in the nucleus?
