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.
What else can I help you with?
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 can be said about the speeds of the two masses at the bottom of their respective paths?
The speeds of the two masses at the bottom of their paths will be the same if they started from the same height, regardless of their masses.
How does the electron cloud model of the atom represent the locations of electrons in atoms?
Scientists do not use the electron cloud model to describe the exact location of electrons around a nucleus. Electrons are quantum particles that exist as points and waves. As a wave, it cannot be said that an electron occupies any exact location, rather, the probability of its charge's existence is spread out in a cloud surrounding the atom.
How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
What are the advantages of an electron microscope over a light microscope - 46k?
Electron microscopes have much higher resolution compared to light microscopes, allowing for better visualization of smaller structures. Electron microscopes can also distinguish finer details due to the shorter wavelength of electrons. Additionally, electron microscopes can observe samples in greater depth by creating 3D images through techniques like tomography.
Who said electron paths cannot be predicted and when?
Schrodinger and Heisenberg state that electrons cannot be predicted in 1927. It was stated that the more precisely the position of some particles are determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known.
Who said electrons are found in electron clouds not paths?
Bohr^ wrong. Werner Heisenberg/ Erwin Shrodinger did.So who did, Bohr or Schrodinger and Heisenberg?
What scientist said you cannot predict exactly where an electron is or what pat it will take?
ha
What is the meaning of the word 'predicted'?
'Said in advance' is what the word 'predicted' means.
Who said Electrons travel in definite paths?
professor NEILS BOHR postulated from his discrete electron orbit theory that electrons get caught in imaginary orbits around the atomic nucleus.
If an electron has absorbed energy and has shifted to a higher energy level the electron is said to be what?
This electron is called excited.
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 scientist said electrons travel in deffinite paths?
Dalton
What is the meaning of the word predicting?

What is the Paths around the Nucleus called?
Electrons are said to occupy orbitals, around the atomic nucleus. They do not actually orbit in the manner that planets orbit the sun; they spread themselves out, as an electron cloud, and surround the nucleus rather than moving in an orbit.
The confusing labyrinth of Boston streets are said tho follow what?
Cow paths
