Answers To Questions For Notes On Correct Model Of Atom And Why We Care

1a. Don't know exact location of electron but the highest probability (that is a region outside nucleus).
1b. Will be cutting region outside nucleus into smaller regions that Bohr 7 spheres.
1c. All atoms have same line-up of subenergy levels with closest to nucleus being where electrons with least amount of energy reside.

2. A cloud or haze because it is traveling at speed of light and with the diameter of the atom being so small, that it crosses diameter a large number of times so it "looks" like it is everywhere.

3. Distance the charged particles are away from each other and the number of each charged particles.

4. For the size of the atom, if the electrons in the highest energy level will be on the outside of the atom and if they are farther from the nucleus, then the size of the atom will be larger than another atom.

5a. Electrons (the one we will be dealing with are called valence electrons) are held to be atoms approximately equally, then electrons are shared (you call them covalent bond).
5b. One atom such a great CF to electrons that it pull other atoms off and to itself (you call that an "ionic bond" which does not actually exist).
5c. Electrons are not tightly held to any atom so they bounce between atoms (you call them metallic bonds)
