The Electron Cloud Model

This week we learned about the Electron Cloud Model and how it relates the Bohr Model. In the Electron Cloud Model there are different orbitals that can hold a certain number of electrons depending on which orbital you may be looking at. As you move from the different energy levels you will find a different set of orbitals. The Bohr Model and the Electron Cloud model are similar because they account for different energy levels which are related to the electrons distance from the nucleus. Although, in the Bohr Model electrons are on fixed energy levels and can jump from level to level; however in the Electron Cloud Model the electrons exist in a probability cloud that is somewhat fuzzy. Also learning about how to find the Electron Configuration for the different elements on the periodic table. At first the gizmo was difficult but as we got into it and began figuring everything out it became more clear.
