#8 chemistry a schoology 2025
we can tell the exact location of electrons because they orbit the nuclei like planets.
possible points: 5
true
false

Explanation:

According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, we cannot simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of an electron. The idea that electrons orbit nuclei like planets (a simplified model from early atomic theory) is incorrect in modern quantum - mechanical terms. We can only describe the probability of finding an electron in a certain region (atomic orbital), not its exact location at all times.

Answer:

False
